PIP: A cross sectional study of prostitutes was complemented by interviewing both paying (clients) and non paying (boyfriends or husbands) partners of female prostitutes to describe known risk factors and different sexual behaviors for infection with HIV. Altogether 112 men participated in the study during 1990-91: 107 were clients of female prostitutes and 11 were non paying members. 75 men had responded to advertisements, 24 were recruited through the genitourinary medicine clinic, and 13 through other methods. 47 interviews were conducted face-to-face and 65 by telephone. 24 men reported having had HIV tests; a further 16 men were tested during the study. The results yielded an overall prevalence of infection with HIV of 5% (2/40). Of the men who replied, 2% reported past use of injected drugs; 8% (8/105) had a history of blood transfusion; 13% (14/108) reported a history of gonorrhea; and 36% (34/94) reported ever having had sex with another man. 15 reported having sex with other men in the past year, and 6 reported taking part in anal intercourse. During their most recent contacts, all 6 men had used condoms, and 1 reported a condom failure. Of the 84 men who reported paying for sex in the past year, 55 had vaginal sex and 45 of these always used a condom. 79 clients reported some use of condoms using sex with prostitutes in the past year, of whom 23 said that 1 or more had failed. Condoms were used in commercial sex primarily to prevent sexually transmitted infections and HIV. Most men always used a condom with a prostitute; most used a condom sometimes with causal, non commercial partners; but few used a condom with regular non commercial partners (wife or steady girlfriend). Among the 11 men who reported noncommercial relationships with prostitutes, 6 who also had paid for sexual intercourse during the past year reported always using a condom in those encounters. In contrast, of the 11 non paying partners, only 2 (18%) reported ever using a condom with their partners.
