摘要：

In rural Northeast Thailand, risk of sexual transmission of HIV is popularly perceived to be site-specific. Risk of HIV transmission in local scenarios like cattle markets and village festivals has not been adequately addressed. This paper assesses the use of community consultation and formative research to overcome prevailing assumptions about HIV risk by involving community members in the process of identifying risks and developing HIV prevention strategies. This participatory approach can be used to develop prevention programs that are responsive to the specific context of risk behavior in rural environments. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd.
