“…8 The majority of low-risk populations are infected by their partners, who have become accustomed to having risky sexual intercourse with other partners other than them. 9 What is even worse is the partners having been infected with the disease avoid being transparent with their families, let alone get themselves checked. They worry they will be abandoned if they try to be honest about their condition.…”

Introduction: Previous studies have shown the risky behavior that causes women’s vulnerability in markets to STI transmission is sexual intercourse with more than one partner. The present study reveals in depth risky sexual behavior and STI prevention among female merchants based on the behavioral theory of the Health Belief Model. This study aims to determine the risky sexual behavior and prevention of STIs in female merchants based on the behavioral theory of health belief model. Methods: This study uses mix-methods (quantitative and qualitative methods). Using the quantitative method, this study first found a descriptive picture with a cross-sectional design. Then with the qualitative method, it extracted more in depth the experiences and social contexts experienced by the participants. The research sample was taken from 100 female merchants and in-depth interviews were conducted with 20 of those who had had sexual intercourse with an age range of 18-45 years in Denpasar City. Respondents were selected by purposive sampling. Results: Risky sexual behavior by most of the respondents is by having premarital sexual intercourse. Most of the respondents, which is 60%, in the market perceive such action would not risk getting an STI because of loyalty to their partner. In terms of the seriousness of STIs, they assume it is indeed a serious disease. Nevertheless, to prevent STIs, the respondents assure us that avoiding risky sexual behavior is not truly what matters. The respondents believe they can manage to afford not to engage in risky sexual behavior for the prevention of STIs. Conclusion: Most female merchants believe having risky sexual intercourse will not risk causing them to contract an STI. To overcome this, it is necessary to establish special programs to reduce the number of STIs in the community, especially in low-risk groups such as female merchants.

Di Indonesia dari tahun ke tahun kasus Lelaki Seks Lelaki (LSL) mengalami jumlah peningkatan yang signifikan. Bali merupakan provinsi yang memiliki jumlah kasus HIV/AIDS yang tinggi dimana Kota Denpasar adalah kota yang tertinggi atas keberadaan LSL. Dari hasil penelitian didapatkan walaupun pemakaian kondom sudah digalakkan, tetapi mereka masih ada yang tidak menggunakan kondom saat berhubungan seksual. Mereka sebagian besar beralasan bahwa pasangan mereka tidak menyukai penggunaan kondom dalam berhubungan seksual. Minimalnya pengetahuan mitra mengenai pencegahan IMS dan HIV/AIDS tersebut. Mitra yang dalam hal ini sebagai perpanjangan tangan dari tenaga kesehatan di puskesmas tidak memiliki gambaran mengenai pelaksanaan program pencegahan tersebut. Mereka tidak mengetahui apa saja bahaya dari IMS, faktor risiko, cara penularannya serta cara pencegahannya termasuk juga program VCT. Dengan adanya pandemi Covid-19 yang sudah berlangsung 2 tahun, membuat terjadinya penurunan pemasukan dari pelanggan yang berdampak pada perekonomian mereka. Sehingga mereka membutuhkan penghasilan tambahan selain dari memuaskan pelanggan. Dari kegiatan ini telah meningkatkan pemahaman LSL serta orang-orang di sekitarnya mengenai pentingnya pencegahan IMS dan HIV/AIDS. Peningkatan skill LSL melalui pelatihan bagi mitra dalam pembuatan APD seperti masker, handsanitizer, face shield. Pelatihan ini dilakukan untuk membantu LSL dalam mencari pemasukan tambahan selain bekerja di Yayasan Kapelata sehingga permasalahan perekonomian mereka terbantu di masa pandemi Covid-19.
