本文的重点是在莫斯科的塔吉克男性移徙工人,并试图解决全球公共卫生问题的艾滋病毒预防男性移徙工人。为了制定可行和有效的预防干预措施,减少艾滋病毒的危险行为之间的塔吉克男性移徙工人在莫斯科,本研究的目的是描述他们的艾滋病毒/艾滋病的风险和保护知识,态度和行为,以及关键的环境因素,可能会阻碍或促进预防干预。这是在莫斯科进行的一次合作性多地点民族志研究,包括与16名参与者进行的最低限度结构化访谈和与另外14名参与者进行的焦点小组讨论。调查结果表明,许多在莫斯科的塔吉克男性移徙工人与商业性工作者发生无保护措施的性行为。虽然一些移民对艾滋病毒有基本的了解,但由于在俄罗斯不受法律保护,他们保护自己不感染艾滋病毒的能力受到恶劣生活和工作条件的影响。为了应对在莫斯科的塔吉克男性移徙工人中的艾滋病毒/艾滋病风险,必须制定预防性干预措施,以应对他们在恶劣的生活和工作条件下缺乏保护的感觉,并利用现有的宗教、社区和家庭支持来源。
This paper focuses on Tajik male migrant workers in Moscow and seeks to address the global public health problem of HIV prevention amongst male migrant workers. To develop feasible and effective preventive interventions for reducing HIV risk behaviors amongst Tajik male migrant workers in Moscow, this study aimed to characterize their HIV/AIDS risk and protective knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors, as well as key contextual factors that would likely impede or facilitate a preventive intervention. This was a collaborative multi-sited ethnography in Moscow that included minimally structured interviews with 16 participants and focus group discussions with an additional 14 participants. The results suggest that many Tajik male migrant workers in Moscow are having unprotected sex with commercial sex workers. Although some of the migrants have basic knowledge about HIV, the migrants' ability to protect themselves from acquiring HIV is compromised by harsh living and working conditions as a consequence of being unprotected by law in Russia. To respond to HIV/AIDS risks amongst Tajik male migrant workers in Moscow, preventive interventions must be developed that respond to their sense of being unprotected in the midst of harsh living and working conditions and that draw upon existing sources of religious, community, and family support.
