Description: The socio-constructivism is increasing utilized in today's gender-focused sociology as a new theoretical frontier in understanding social vulnerability to HIV. The evidence in this study, however, indicated that so called as "practice oriented selection" (POS) among these quite marginalized populations suggests more implication than socio-constructivism of sexualities. The study revealed that social dimensions are sociosexually constituted in the process of the POS, rather than as a simply socially constituted which embedded in the frame of sexuality as "social script". The theoretical formwork of socio-constructivism has been challenged greatly from finding of this study on sub-cultural dynamics of vulnerability on behavior change to HIV impact although cross-cultural evidence needs to be particularly stressed.
