It was found that the leading factor the women’s vulnerability is sexual conduct with more than one partners. However, regarding a risky sexual behaviour pattern and prevention efforts to it, a study has not been carried out so far. The objective of this study was to investigate in-depth the risky sexual behaviour and the prevention of STIs in female traders. This study was designed using qualitative methods by conducting an in-depth interview with 20 women, including trade owners, trade assistants and trade workers who took turns in conducting trade activities, who ever had sexual intercourse with people aged 18-45 years in Denpasar. Purposive sampling was applied in choosing the respondents. After the data was collected, it was analysed thematically. The risky sexual behaviour perpetrated by most respondents is premarital sexual intercourse. Some of these perpetrators also have often had sexual intercourse switching pairs without using condoms. In the prevention of STIs, the respondents claimed that they should be loyal to their partners.
