HIV prevention among sex workers in India
Article Abstract:
The Sonagachi Project was replicated to test the efficacy of a sustainable community-level HIV intervention among sex workers. Sex workers from 2 urban communities in northeastern India were selected and it was found that use of condom increased significantly in the community (39%) compared with the control community (11%) and the proportion of consistent condom users increased 25% in the intervention community compared with a 16% decrease in the control community.
