The stigma associated with male sex workers
(MSW) hinders the prevention, treatment, and care of HIV
infection in this population. These factors make social and
public health resources less accessible to MSW. To
improve the effectiveness of prevention strategies, this
study examines social factors such as educational level,
country of origin, and sexual orientation. Semi-structured
interviews of 100 MSW in Castello
́
n and Valencia (Spanish
cities) indicate that knowledge of HIV transmission is
good; nevertheless, MSW significantly overestimate or
underestimate some sexual practices. Levels of condom use
are high; notably, they are higher during anal sex. Levels of
condom use are lower with intimate partners than with
clients. MSW do not present differences in terms of the
socio-demographic variables analyzed and sexual orienta-
tion. Furthermore, regression analyses are not significant.
These results offer more accurate profiles of MSW than
were previously available, which will ultimately help
improve the effectiveness of prevention programs [-]
