A cross-sectional study using mixed methods (quantitative research combined with qualitative research) was conducted to determine the prevalence of STI/HIV infections and assess the levels of STI/HIV-related knowledge, and attitudes towards STIs/HIV and sexual behaviours among FSWs in Ba Ria – Vung Tau, Vietnam. Quantitative research methods were used for an epidemiological survey to recruit 420 FSWs in two cities and six districts of Ba Ria – Vung Tau province, Vietnam. The survey explored the STI/HIV prevalence, socio-demographic characteristics and risk factors affecting FSWs. The recruited participants were interviewed face-to-face, using a structured questionnaire, and then tested for HIV, Syphilis, Gonorrhoea, and Chlamydia. Qualitative research methods using in-depth interviews with a subsample of 45 FSWs supplemented the quantitative research findings, especially in relation to different perspectives of risk behaviours among FSWs. Both FSWs who engaged clients directly (116) and indirectly (254), via brothels or other workplaces, participated in the study. About a quarter (25.4%) of the FSW sample were 24 years of age or under and 43.3% had minimal formal education. Almost half (48.1%) had been married or cohabited and 30.5% were living alone. The majority of the sample (63.1%) were unemployed before becoming FSWs. Two-fifths (40.2%) earned money solely by sex work. Regarding risky sexual behaviours, 52.6% had had their first sexual intercourse before the age of 18 years. 42.9% had provided sexual services to over 15 paying clients in the month prior to interview. Most (81.4%) practiced oral sex and a substantial proportion (17.6%) had had anal sex during this period. Most FSWs drank alcohol at least once a week. Only half of the FSW sample had ever heard of, or known about injecting drug usage, although nearly a quarter of them had used drugs. FSWs who engaged clients directly were significantly more likely to have sexual intercourse with clients who injected drugs than those who made contact through their workplace. 2 The prevalence of HIV among the FSW sample was 2.6%. The study showed that earning low income (less than AUD 200 per month), having had sex with injecting drug users (IDUs), and having been infected with any STI were significantly associated with HIV infection. The prevalence of Syphilis, Gonorrhoea, Chlamydia, and either Gonorrhoea or Chlamydia infections was 6.9%, 7.9%, 16.4%, and 21.4%, respectively. The prevalence of any STI (having at least one of these infections) was 27.1%. The multivariate logistic regression model found a significant association of any STI with “age group”, “education level”, “source of income”, and “monthly income”, “age of first sexual intercourse”, “working as FSWs”, “number of paying clients”, “had oral sex”, “had anal sex”, “had any IDU clients”, “feeling at risk for HIV infection”, “visited any STI clinic in the last 12 months”, and “received free or cheap condoms last month”. More than three quarters of the FSW sample (76.2%) had a high HIV knowledge, with correct answers for at least 7 out of 10 questions. However, only 23.3% of participants answered all items correctly. Over half (51.4%) of the FSWs felt themselves at risk of HIV infection. 86.0% of FSWs had heard about STI infections. Among them, 40.4% of the FSWs reported that they had suffered STI infections. Only 21.9 percent of FSWs had visited an STI clinic for a routine (non-infection related) check-up during the last 12 months. Nearly three quarters (72.4%) had received free condoms and over half (56.9%) had received information about safe sex and injecting drugs in the month prior to interview. Most (86%) FSWs knew of an STI/HIV testing clinic in Ba Ria – Vung Tau, and more than half (51%) had been tested for HIV/STIs. Among the FSWs who had been tested for STIs/HIV, 77.7% had been counselled before testing, 81.0% of FSWs had received the testing results and 96.0% of those who had received the results had been counselled after receiving testing results. 3 The qualitative exploratory study indicated that the main factors associated with a failure to use condoms among the FSWs included lack of skill in negotiating condom use; economic pressure; close relationships with clients; and clients' attitudes and perception of the risk. One of the most common reasons for FSWs’ alcohol consumption was that it was inevitable owing to the nature of their work environment. The main reason for using drugs among FSWs was that they were sad and unhappy with their work. Most of the participants knew or had heard that HIV/STIs could be transmitted through sexual intercourse. Most of the participants felt at risk of HIV infection because of their sex work. The results of this study clearly indicate a number of strong links between socio- demographic characteristics and risky sexual behaviours and STI/HIV infections. Therefore, there is an urgent need for existing STI/HIV intervention programs to be improved and strengthened in order to reduce the current level of STI/HIV infections. Comprehensive prevention, care, and treatment for STI/HIV infections should be developed and should be provided in settings that are easily accessed by, and comfortable for FSWs. 4 Key Words HIV/AIDS Sexually Transmitted Infections Female Sex Workers Transmission Risk Factors Sexual Behaviours Knowledge Attitudes Ba Ria - Vung Tau Vietnam 5 Statement of Originality This work has not previously been submitted for a degree or diploma in any university.

The previous researches concentrated on how the socio-economic and socio- psychological changes had caused the rapid growth of the popular religious cults since the Song dynasty period, and they presumed that the rapid increase of the state and literati involvement with the local cults just reflected the increasing significance of the popular religions. However, I argue that the previous presumption was only partially right. My research intends to demonstrate that the transformation in the state and literati response to the popular religious cults was iii attributed not only to the change of the popular religions but also to that of the socio-political environment around them. In Chapter Two, I argue that during the period between the late Tang and the Five Dynasties period the difference in the local policies between the northern five dynasties and southern regional regimes caused the disparity in their stances on the popular religious beliefs.

  • Quanzhou (Fujian) During the Tang-Song Interregnum, 879-978 By
    QUANZHOU (FUJIAN) DURING THE TANG-SONG INTERREGNUM, 879-978 BY HUGH R. CLARK Haverford College It is generally recognized that in the Song dynasty Quanzhou emerged as one of the most important prefectures in the Empire 1). This importance was based on the economic strength generated by the flow of foreign trade-that is, South Seas trade-through the port. Long the second most important port of China, by the mid-Southern Song Quanzhou was to become the largest-Marco Polo suggested that it was the greatest port in all the world. A less widely known manifestation of prefectural importance was the large number of men who entered the bureaucracy through the civil service examinations and other routes. Through the Northern Song, Quanzhou produced more jinshi graduates than all but a half dozen or so other prefectures in the Empire. What would also be generally recognized if given as much thought is that in the Tang era this same prefecture was a political and eco- nomic backwater. There was little native wealth and even less education. The port, although beginning to develop, was only one of several along the South and Southeast coasts, and not an es- pecially prominent one at that. The native elite, which was only just beginning to emerge in the ninth century, was unimportant in national politics. Yet despite this striking dichotomy between the two eras, there has been little if any effort to explain the transformation. Because I believe that the explanation lies in an overlooked di- inension to the history of the Min kingdom rag which ostensibly ruled Fujian during the Tang-Song interregnum 2), and because 133 I believe that history is not well-known, it is appropriate to open with an historical review, including a summary of the extant interpretation.

  • List of Dynasties
    A Note on the Dates for the Revelation of the Correct Rites of the Celestial Heart (Tianxin zhengfa) Johannes L. Kurz Introduction The tenth century in Chinese history is referred to as a "transitional period", bridging the years between the fall of the Tang in 907 and the start of the Song dynasty that began in 960. The period in between these two dates is only very rarely treated in Western and Chinese research, which has to do with the apparent confusion resulting from the division of the country into a northern half and a southern half. The north was dominated by five succeeding dynasties, while the south experienced the existence of several states and empires that ruled simultaneously. As the Song dynasty arose out of this confused situation it is nevertheless worthwhile to take a closer look at what actually happened within those 53 years and on the form of transition that occurred. Much of what came to be identified with the new Song dynasty had its roots in the preceding period of the Five Dynasties and Ten States, such as the preservation of books, that were going to be the foundation of the Song imperial collection, the personnel that was going to use them for the compilation of some of the most influential works during the early Northern Song, among many others. In this paper I concentrate on one aspect which is relevant for the understanding of events and people in the southern part of China prior to the reunification of the empire by the Song dynasty in 960.
