2013 MAR 11 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at AIDS Weekly -- Research findings on AIDS Behavior are discussed in a new report. According to news reporting originating from Houston, Texas, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, "We examined condom-use negotiation strategies and condom use among 81 female sex workers (FSWs) in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Percentages of FSWs who did not negotiate condom use or could not describe a negotiation strategy with native clients, foreign clients, and non-paying partners were 15.0, 29.0 and 67.6 %, respectively." Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from the University of Texas Health Science Center, "The most common negotiation strategy used was 'provision of risk information' for native clients (43.8 %) and non-paying partners (26.5 %), and 'direct request' for foreign clients (39.5 %). About half could not describe more than one negotiation strategy. Consistent condom use was high with native clients (98.8 %), yet comparatively lower with foreign clients (86.9 %) and non-paying partners (26.5 %). FSWs who did not negotiate or did not know how to negotiate condom use were less likely to report condom use with non-paying regular partners." According to the news editors, the research concluded: "Future interventions should enhance condom negotiation strategies between FSWs and all partner types."
