  • Pornography, Sexual Enhancement Products, and Sexual Risk of Female Sex Workers and their Clients in Southern India

    Open AccessJanet Bradley, Subramanian Potty Rajaram et al.ARTICLEArchives of Sexual Behavior2016Referências: 41

  • Perspectives on condom breakage

    Kaveri Gurav, Janet Bradley et al.ARTICLECulture Health & Sexuality2014

    A qualitative study was conducted to obtain a detailed understanding of two key determinants of condom breakage - 'rough sex' and poor condom fit - identified in a recent telephone survey of female sex workers, in Bangalore, India. Transcripts from six focus-group discussions involving 35 female sex workers who reported condom breakage during the telephone survey were analysed. Rough sex in different forms, from over-exuberance to violence, was o…

  • Vulnerability re-assessed

    Tara Beattie, Tara S H Beattie et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2013

    We conducted a qualitative study to examine the impact of an HIV prevention programme on female sex workers' lives in Guntur district, Andhra Pradesh. The study found evidence that, in addition to the HIV prevention programme, structural and environmental factors had recently changed the way sex work was being practiced. Recent closure of the brothels and implementation of a late-night street curfew by the police meant sex work had become more hi…

  • The feasibility of using mobile phone technology for sexual behaviour research in a population vulnerable to HIV

    Janet Bradley, Banadakoppa M Ramesh et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2012

    Sexual behaviour studies are often challenged by sampling, participation and measurement biases, and may be unacceptable to participants. We invited 293 randomly selected female sex workers (FSWs) in Bangalore, India, to participate in a telephone survey, with condom breakage as the main outcome. Free cell phones were supplied and trained interviewers telephoned FSWs daily to ask about all sex acts the previous day. Later, we undertook focus grou…

  • Female Sex Worker Client Behaviors Lead to Condom Breakage

    Open AccessJanet Bradley, S Rajaram et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2012

  • Gender relations and risks of HIV transmission in South India

    Joanne Aubé-Maurice, Michèle Clément et al.ARTICLECulture Health & Sexuality2012

    In South India, where the majority of the country's cases of HIV are concentrated, transmission of infection occurs mainly within networks composed of female sex workers, their clients and the other sexual partners of the latter. This study aims to determine how gender relations affect the risks of HIV transmission in this region. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with 30 clients and analysed qualitatively. Results show that clients per…

  • Evaluation of Stepping Stones as a tool for changing knowledge, attitudes and behaviours associated with gender, relationships and HIV risk in Karnataka, India

    Open AccessJanet Bradley, Janet E Bradley et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2011

    The qualitative part of this study reflects other studies in different settings, in that SS participants gained immensely from the training. Wider behaviour change is a challenging goal that many programmes fail to attain, with most interventions too limited in scope and intensity to produce larger community effects. This may have contributed to the fact that we observed few differences between interventions and non-intervention villages in this …

  • Determinants of condom breakage among female sex workers in Karnataka, India

    Open AccessJanet Bradley, S Rajaram et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2011

    The reported incidence of condom breakage was high in this study, and this is a major concern for HIV/STI prevention programs, for which condom use is a key prevention tool. Younger and more marginalized female sex workers were most vulnerable to condom breakage. Special effort is therefore required to seek out such women and to provide information and skills on correct condom use. More research is also needed on what specific situational paramet…

  • Changes in HIV knowledge, and socio-cultural and sexual attitudes in South India from 2003-2009

    Open AccessJanet Bradley, S Rajaram et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2011

    Despite increases over time in HIV-related knowledge and reductions in stigmatizing attitudes, resistance to changing cultural mores was apparent, with less willingness to embrace openness and discuss sexuality. Young and female respondents appeared to be the most resistant to change, reflecting a cultural inertia that mirrors studies of other pressures on traditional societal values. More effort is required to advocate among women and young peop…

  • Condom use within non-commercial partnerships of female sex workers in southern India

    Open AccessK Deering, Kathleen N Deering et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2011

    This study revealed important patterns and interpersonal determinants of condom use within non-commercial partnerships of FSWs. Integrated structural and community-driven HIV/STI prevention programs that focus on gender and reduce sex work stigma should be investigated to increase condom use in non-commercial partnerships

  • Heterogeneity of the HIV epidemic in the general population of Karnataka state, south India

    Open AccessPradeep Banandur, Subramanian Rajaram et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2011

    The HIV epidemic in Karnataka shows considerable heterogeneity, and there appears to be an increasing gradient in HIV prevalence from south to north. The sex work structure in the northern districts may explain the higher prevalence of HIV in northern Karnataka. The higher prevalence of HIV and HSV-2 and lower prevalence of curable STIs in Belgaum suggests a later epidemic phase. Similarly, higher prevalence of curable STIs and lower HIV and HSV-…

  • The Drayang Girls of Thimphu

    Robert Lorway, Gampo Dorji et al.ARTICLECulture Health & Sexuality2011

    Bhutan's sustained low HIV prevalence can be attributed to its political commitment to maintain isolation from foreign cultural influence. Recently, rising HIV prevalence has coincided with the increase in human traffic along Bhutan's borders. The majority of infections, occurring primarily through sexual contact, have appeared in the urban environments that are situated along the main transport routes. This qualitative study explored the sexual …

  • Violence against female sex workers in Karnataka state, south India

    Open AccessTara Beattie, Tara SH Beattie et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2010

    This program demonstrates that a structural approach to addressing violence can be effectively delivered at scale. Addressing violence against FSWs is important for the success of HIV prevention programs, and for protecting their basic human rights

  • Blood, men and tears

    Janet Bradley, Janet E Bradley et al.ARTICLECulture Health & Sexuality2009

    The Intra-Uterine Device (IUD) is an effective method of contraception, but in Bangladesh is associated with high levels of discontinuation within the first year. This study involved data collection from a retrospective cohort of women who had an IUD inserted 12 months earlier. In the cohort, 330 women were interviewed to identify factors associated with discontinuation. Later, 20 women, of the 103 who reported discontinuing because of excessive …

  • Widening the Cervical Cancer Screening Net in a South African Township

    Janet Bradley, Liliana Risi et al.ARTICLEHealth Care For Women International2004

    Cervical cancer screening services in South Africa have failed to reach the majority of the population and to significantly reduce mortality. A household survey in a predominantly Black African population living in a low-income township on the outskirts of Cape Town was undertaken to ascertain the characteristics of women reporting never having been screened. In our group of 664 representatively sampled women. 45% of women reported having had a c…
