- W1976343239 abstract "Background: Although Bangladesh is a low prevalent country for HIV, Myanmar, which lies to the South East of Bangladesh, is experiencing a generalized HIV epidemic. Objectives: The study has been designed to assess the risk behaviour and vulnerability to HIV infection of migrant boatmen in Teknaf and to provide information on whether boatmen in Teknaf are part of a risk behaviour network that may fuel the HIV epidemic in Bangladesh. Methods: The study had four components; initial rapport building, mapping, in-depth interview with key informants and members from other local vulnerable groups and finally a cross-section survey among 433 boatmen. Bivariate and multivariate analysis was done to estimate associated risk factors for HIV infection. Results: About 42% of the boatmen ever visited to Myanmar. Significant correlation found between the duration of stay and sex with sex workers while in Myanmar. Many had multiple sexual partners both in local area and abroad and had experienced male-to-male sex and group sex. Having sex with non-marital sex partners was associated with younger age and activities they are involved. Reported penile discharge were associated with higher income group, self perceived HIV risk and experience of having sex with sex workers. HIV related knowledge and awareness was poor. Condom use was rare in all groups of boatmen. Regression analysis showed that condom usage was associated with higher educational levels, sex with non-marital female sexual partners, and boatmen who were deep-sea fishing group. Only few were covered by intervention. Conclusions: Boatmen in Teknaf are an integral part of a high-risk sexual behaviour network between Myanmar and Bangladesh. There is an urgent need for designing interventions targeting boatmen in Teknaf to combat an impending epidemic of HIV among this group. Boatmen of Teknaf could be included in the serological surveillance as a vulnerable group." @default.
