OBJECTIVES: To describe the @entity2953 ( @entity2953 ) knowledge and risk behaviors, and to determine factors related to condom use among male commercial sex workers (CSW) and male tourist clients in Bali, Indonesia.

METHODS: Survey interviews included detailed questions on @entity791 / @entity2953 knowledge, @entity146 , and psychosocial measures related to risk taking. RESULTS: Most of the male CSW had heard about @entity791 and other @entity2953 , although some misconceptions about transmission and risks of different sexual practices remained. Both oral and anal intercourse with tourists were common and condom use was far from consistent. Factors related to condom use for anal intercourse with tourist clients were condom beliefs, self efficacy, susceptibility to @entity2953 , and @entity2953 knowledge. Tourist clients were mainly from Australia and Europe and many had paid for sex in other parts of Indonesia as well as in high prevalence countries. Knowledge of @entity791 / @entity2953 was very good among the tourists and previous experience with @entity2953 was common. Factors related to condom use with male CSW were condom beliefs and self efficacy. CONCLUSION: There is a very active and mobile group of male CSW and tourist clients present in Bali. Interventions with these @entity1 are needed due to the low level of knowledge about @entity791 among CSW, their experience with @entity2953 and @entity2953 symptoms, and their level of risky @entity146 .
