【Abstract】 Objective To reduce health risks for STDs and HIV infections among women engaged in illegal commercial sex activities through health education and provision of medical care. Methods Women health centers were set up in related areas. The center staff visited sites of interest to provide the women with health education counseling services and condoms. Medical care services in women health centers were also available for them. Management of STD Symptoms recommended by WHO was implemented by 19 private STD clinics. The outcomes of interventions were evaluated by interviews and questionnaire survey. Results Women’s knowledge and awareness of STDs/HIV/AIDS prevention rose increasingly, and as a result they tried to seek care after interventions. The women who ever read health education materials improved their knowledge and awareness of STDs/HIV/AIDS prevention and reduced their risk behaviors more significantly than those who failed to do so. Women receiving such education were in different stages of behavior change. Conclusion Health education and provision of medical services were effective for reducing women’s risk behaviors related to STDs/HIV infection. It was feasible to carry out interventions for women engaged in illegal commercial sex activities.更多还原
