The study offered the girls and young women cash payments, perhaps 10 dollars a month. Some were just given the money with no conditions attached, while others were required to regularly attend school. There was some behavior change in those who received the money.
此研究付给女孩和年轻女子现金,也许每月十美元。一些是无条件支付,一些则以正常上学为回报。她们得到钱后,行为有了些许变化。
“Girls who were sexually active kept being sexually active. But they chose different partners. They dated their age mates, who are much less likely to be HIV positive. But on top of that they actually had much less sexual activity with them. Right, so it wasn’t like they’re abstaining, but they were having less sex. And we know both of those things are protective factors.”
“性生活活跃的女孩虽然依旧很活跃,然而她们选择的性伴侣跟以往不同。她们与携带艾滋病病毒几率较小的同龄人约会,最重要的是,她们与之发生的性行为较之以前要少。是的,并不是说她们在刻意节制,但是性行为确实减少了。我们知道这些因素能保护她们。”

Ozler says more research is needed to determine if such a program would work in most poor countries. But he says it could be considered as part of a comprehensive strategy to prevent HIV infection.
奥斯勒说,要确定这样的项目是否能在大多数贫穷国家起作用,还需要更多的调查研究来支撑。但同时他也说到,这样的项目可以被当做全面防止艾滋病感染计划的一部分。
