 AB    OBJECTIVES: To describe the AIDS/sexually transmitted diseases (STD)
       knowledge and risk behaviors, and to determine factors related to condom
       use among male commercial sex workers (CSW) and male tourist clients in
       Bali, Indonesia. DESIGN: Individual survey interviews were conducted
       with a sample of 80 male CSW and 100 tourist clients in the Kuta area of
       Bali. METHODS: Survey interviews included detailed questions on AIDS/STD
       knowledge, sexual behavior, and psychosocial measures related to risk
       taking. RESULTS: Most of the male CSW had heard about AIDS and other
       STD, although some misconceptions about transmission and risks of
       different sexual practices remained. Both oral and anal intercourse with
       tourists were common and condom use was far from consistent. Factors
       related to condom use for anal intercourse with tourist clients were
       condom beliefs, self efficacy, susceptibility to STD infection, and STD
       knowledge. Tourist clients were mainly from Australia and Europe and
       many had paid for sex in other parts of Indonesia as well as in high
       prevalence countries. Knowledge of AIDS/STD was very good among the
       tourists and previous experience with STD was common. Factors related to
       condom use with male CSW were condom beliefs and self efficacy.
       CONCLUSION: There is a very active and mobile group of male CSW and
       tourist clients present in Bali. Interventions with these men are needed
       due to the low level of knowledge about AIDS among CSW, their experience
       with STD and STD symptoms, and their level of risky sexual behavior.
