过去二十年中国的快速变化导致了与人口迁移和社会态度变化相关的重大问题，包括性产业的发展以及性传播感染和艾滋病毒的同时增加。本文报道了一项关于杀微生物剂可接受性和准备情况的探索性研究结果，以及中国南部海南省和广西省两个农村和一个城镇的女性性工作者当前艾滋病毒预防工作的结果。该研究的重点是这些妇女对保护自己免受性传播感染和艾滋病毒感染的选择的知识和文化理解，以及妇女发起的预防方法的潜在可行性和可接受性。我们报告了对在非正式性工作场所（酒店、按摩和美容院、路边餐馆、寄宿处）工作的女性进行的民族志启发访谈。我们讨论了这些发现对于在中国女性性工作者中进一步推广女性发起的预防方法（例如杀菌剂和女用安全套）的影响。
Rapid changes in China over the past two decades have led to significant problems associated with population migration and changing social attitudes, including a growing sex industry and concurrent increases in STIs and HIV This article reports results of an exploratory study of microbicide acceptability and readiness and current HIV Prevention efforts among female sex workers in two rural and one urban town in Hainan and Guangxi Provinces in southern China. The study focused on these women's knowledge and cultural understandings of options for protecting themselves from exposure to STIs and HIV, and the potential viability and acceptability of woman-initiated prevention methods. We report on ethnographic elicitation interviews conducted with women working within informal sex-work establishments (hotels, massage and beauty parlors, roadside restaurants, boarding houses). We discuss implications of these findings for further promotion of woman-initiated prevention methods such as microbicides and female condoms among female sex workers in China.
