A total of 300 garment workers in Dhaka city were assessed with a semi-structured interview. Their knowledge of HIV\/AIDS was moderate with high rates of misperception regarding modes of transmission. Further, symptoms of possible sexually transmitted infections (STIs) such as genital ulcer disease and vaginal discharge were prevalent, and risk behaviours such as low use of condoms, multiple sex partners and drug abuse were also found. Logistic regression identified that women who sourced information through radio\/television, health service providers or friends had higher age at first intercourse and higher HIV\/AIDS knowledge scores and were more likely to use condoms. Those who gained information through radio\/televison or health service providers and those who abused drugs were more likely to have sex with multiple sex partners, while information gained through health service providers, and higher HIV\/AIDS knowledge were protective against drug abuse, whereas sex with multiple partners was a predictor of drug abuse. We conclude that in Bangladesh, female garment workers are at risk of HIV\/AIDS due to low education, lack of knowledge, STIs and risky behaviour. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1258\/ijsa.2008.008455","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,1,21]],"date-time":"2010-01-21T00:39:50Z","timestamp":1264034390000},"page":"133-137","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["An assessment of risk behaviours for HIV\/AIDS among young female garment workers in Bangladesh"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"A M","family":"Sayem","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"15\/H\/1 Zigatola, Dhaka, Bangladesh1000"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,2,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr-IJSA-08-455C1","unstructured":"UNGASS.
