ABSTRACT
This paper examines the peoples' perception of getting infected with HIV -AIDS
and the preventive strategies known and adopted by trafficked and vulnerable
Nigerian women of Edo State origin. The data were obtained from secondary
sources which included literature searches and primary sources based on qualitative
data obtained through structured interviews involving the trafficked and deported
Edo ladies. A further source of the data was from a focused of group of vulnerable
women in Edo State. The trafficking of young girls and the ignorance of HIVstatus
is a major factor for the spread of the HIV among sexually active people.
The study reveals a high level of awareness among the trafficked (deported)
women and, a low level of awareness among the vulnerable women living in Edo
Stare. There are higb numbers of unprotected sexual practices with regular partners
whose HIV statuses are unknown and" thus highly perceived HIV -risks among the
most trafficked and a misconceived low perceived risks among the vulnerable. Te
study concludes by recommending for the sensitization about the need to test for
ElV-status and for the adoption of adequate behavioral change as key strategies for
reducing HIV -risks.
