- Abstract
The article presents the examination of HIV prevalence and associated factors among male sex workers (MSW) in Bangkok, Thailand. A comparison of the participants from the entertainment and street venues is presented using chi-square and logistic regression. Male sex work venues include male go-go bars, saunas, and karaoke bars where sex and other erotic services in exchange for money or its equivalents happen while street-based sex work involves encouragement of clients in public areas. Factors that risk MSW to HIV infection include unprotected sex, multiple sex partners, and low condom use.
