虽然发展中国家女性人口中的艾滋病毒感染率正在上升，但关于影响工人阶级妇女性风险的因素的信息很少。本文件介绍了在牙买加工作的两组58名妇女讨论的一些问题：非正规商业进口商和在自由区工作的妇女。这些妇女讨论了她们的经济脆弱性、对男子作为提供者的作用的期望、多个伙伴、对儿童作为资源的看法以及对身体虐待的关切，这些都是可能影响避孕套使用决定的因素。这些调查结果的影响进行了讨论，其影响的干预方案，针对工人阶级妇女在牙买加。
Although the rates of HIV are increasing among female populations in developing countries, there is little information available about factors influencing sexual risk taking among working class women. This paper describes some of the issues discussed by two groups of 58 women working in Jamaica: Informal Commercial Importers and women working in the Freezone. These women discuss their economic vulnerability, expectations about the role of men as providers, multiple partners, perceptions of children as resources and concern about physical abuse as factors that could influence decisions about condom use. The implications of these findings are discussed for their impact on intervention programs targeting working class women in Jamaica.
