| Abstract | The objective of the study was to assess the changes in sexual behavior among 1124 male factory workers. The study was conducted at two cohort study sites near Addis Ababa in Akaki fiber factory and Wonji sugar factory workers. At intake and biannual follow-up visits, data were collected on sexual behaviors including casual sex, sex with commercial sex workers (CSW), condom use, and history of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) as indicated by genital discharge and genital ulcer. Health education, HIV testing, and counseling were offered to all participants. At intake, the prevalence of casual sex in the past year, sex with CSWs, condom use with the last casual partner, history of genital discharge in the past five years, and history of genital ulcer in the past five years were 9.7%, 43.4%, 38.8% (Akaki site only), 10.6%, and 2.1%, respectively. At the Wonji site, the intake prevalence of casual sex, sex with CSW, and history of genital discharge decreased significantly by calendar year between 19977 and 1999. At both sites combined, between the first and the fourth follow-up visits, there was a decline in the proportion of males reporting recent casual sex from 18 to 4 percent, sex with CSWs from 11 to 1 percent, and genital discharge from 2.1to nearly 1 %. |
