This study involeves and in-depth exploration of sexuality and sexual behaviors among male STD patients in Dhaka,in the context of STD/HIV/AIDS tranmission in Bangladesh. Data were collected from August to November 1996.A purposive sample of 15 male STD patients was selected from the Skin and Venereal Disease Out Patient Department of a government hospital in Dakha city. Results reveal premarital sexual relations beginning in early adolescence,often with multiple sex partners,and that extramarital sexual relations are also reported.This suggests that sexual indentity is not linearly related to sexual behaviors.
