To assess AIDS-related knowledge and identify high-risk transmission behaviors among rural Mexican women married to temporary migrant workers in the United States.
Conducted an interview-based survey among a representative sample of married, reproductive-aged women living in rural Mexico who were sexually active with their migrant worker spouses.
Most participants exhibited accurate knowledge regarding AIDS transmission, though some misconceptions remained.
Approximately one-third of participants perceived themselves to be at risk for AIDS, primarily attributing their risk to doubts regarding their husbands' fidelity or to receiving injections, blood donations, or blood transfusions within the prior five years.
