本文的目的是确定农民工的性伴侣类型和安全套使用情况。该研究的数据取自 2004 年对泰国南部沿海和北部地区 3,426 名移徙工人进行的调查。在性活跃的男性中，25% 的人报告去年曾拜访过性工作者，57% 的人报告有固定伴侣，6% 的人报告去年有过另一名非固定伴侣。据报告，性工作者使用安全套的比例较高（79% 表示一直使用），但固定伴侣的使用比例较低（4% 曾经使用过）。与拜访性工作者相关的因素包括婚姻状况（如果未婚则拜访次数更多）、在泰国居住的时间较长、海员或海鲜生产工人的职业、柬埔寨血统以及感知的艾滋病风险。年轻男性、已婚男性、在泰国居住时间较长的男性、艾滋病风险较低的男性以及饮酒频率较低的男性中，性工作者使用安全套的比例较高。
The objectives of this paper were to identify the types of sexual partners and condom use of migrant workers. Data for the study were drawn from a survey of 3,426 migrant workers in southern coastal and northern areas of Thailand conducted in 2004. Among sexually active men, 25% reported visiting a sex worker, 57% reported a regular partner, and 6% reported another non-regular partner in the last year. Reported condom use was high with sex workers (79% reported always use), but low with regular partners (4% ever use). Factors related to visiting sex workers included marital status (more visits if not married), longer residence in Thailand, occupation of seafarer or seafood production worker, Cambodian origin, and perceived AIDS risk. Condom use with sex workers was higher for younger men, married men, men who had been in Thailand longer, men with lower perceived AIDS risk, and men who drank alcohol less frequently.
