“…The risk perception among the males was higher in the urban communities compared to among the rural communities. Such perceptions were previously reported by (Giri et al, 2012), (Ikpeme et al, 2005;Mekelle and Menasbo, 2013;Olubayo-Fatiregun, 2014;Azeez, 2016).

“…In the past, there are different behavioural, theories which include AIDS Risk Reduction Model (ARRM), Health Belief Model and Stages of Change. They are important models for mitigating transmissible infections (Durojaiye, 2011), however, cognitive thought, and abstract imaginations influence our attitude towards sexuality (Giri et al, 2012).…”

A cross sectional quantitative survey that obtained information on high risk behaviours which expose individuals to sexually transmitted infections (STIs) especially HIV was carried out in Lake Chad Basin of Borno among 1,790 volunteers. A well-structured questionnaire was developed and used to collect the desired baseline sociodemographic characteristics by direct interview of respondents in their houses among the populations living in the ordinary households, the mobile population and vulnerable population group (VPG) not living in the households were interviewed in their places of abode with discretion. The mean age range of the participants was 32.5 years (SD + 2.21) ranging from 15 to 49 years. 1,234 (68.9%) of the respondents were males while 556 (31.1%) were females. The prison inmates had the highest prevalence of STIs, 37% of the respondents didn’t know that they were at risk of contracting HIV. The knowledge of HIV status was higher among the males (80.2%) than the females (19.3%). The use of male and female condom was higher among the rural (19.2%) than the urban (10.8%) respondents. This study revealed high risk practices among the respondents even though there is tremendous HIV test intake across both the general and vulnerable populations, there is need for more awareness as rate of risk perception is very low.

“…In general, migrant workers are young women, from rural areas, with low education, economically disadvantaged, while abroad most of them work in the domestic sector such as housemaids (Giri et al, 2012;Ullah, 2010;Winarso et al, 2021). Workers also have the potential to experience various problems, especially those related to reproductive health, sexual violence (sexual harassment), sexually transmitted infections and contraception, sexuality of married couples, myths and spirituality.…”

Background: Reproduction health in migrant workers is complicated and difficult to handle. Health education is one of the methods to increase the knowledge about health reproduction. Aims: The study aimed to analyze the knowledge of migrant workers related to reproductive health through case study learning method. Methods: The study is an intervention research. Total respondents were 135 participants. The intervention was conducted in 3 groups of female migrant workers. The intervention given was related to reproductive health with 4 meetings in the first group, 8 meetings in the second group and 12 meetings in the third group. Group 2 and 3 used case study as learning method. The measurement of knowledge of the three groups was through pre-test and post-test. The statistical test used ANOVA to determine differences between intervention groups and T Test to determine the difference between pre-test and post-test scores. Results: There were significant differences in pre-test and post-test scores in all groups and there was significant difference in post-test scores in groups 1 and 3 of p=0.001. Conclusion: Health education given to migrant workers is proven to be able to increase the level of knowledge related to reproductive health. The group that received case study as learning method and more number of meeting, had a better level of knowledge.

“…Individual perception of susceptibility to HIV/AIDS and benefits of condom use are important factors in determining condom use and cognitive information through health education is an effective promotion (Ye et al, 2012). Most of sex workers knew and were aware of HIV/AIDS and the common source of information about HIV/AIDS was from television (Giri et al, 2012) and doctors (Lau, Tsui, Siah, & Zhang, 2010).However, studies found that knowledge is not always directly associated with behavior change (Pattanaphesaj & Teerawattananon, 2010).…”

“…However, a research reported that sex work could give them more money and pleasure, also because they did not regard life outside sex work as a viable option (Chipamaunga et al, 2010). Generally, studies found that financial need is the reason for initiating and maintaining sex work, because in some countries most of sex workers were from poor socio-economic status and broken family (Giri et al, 2012).Other factors such as lack of education, poverty, domestic violence, marital breakup, family responsibility, lack of support by family members, harassment, and abuse in society and in workplace are the main reasons for women coming to this profession as well (Charles et al, 2013). …”
