Empowering Communities to Tackle HIV (India’s Avahan Program)

Question 1

In India, there are several social groups that are at a high risk for HIV. These are groups of people who have a high prevalence rate of being infected with the ailment. These social groups include female sex workers, the partners of female sex workers, injection drug users, transgender individuals, and men who have sex with other men. People who use injection drugs are at a high risk because many share the needles and this can lead to easy transmission of the disease from one individual to the next. Clearly identifying these social groups is an important step since it allows the Avahan Program to be directed towards addressing the prevalence rate of HIV among these populations.
