BACKGROUND: In Bangladesh and other resource-constrained settings, a sub-group of transgender women (predominantly known as hijra in South Asia) encounter systemic marginalization, which unfairly predisposes them to health disadvantages. Although studies are beginning to illuminate the emerging burden of various communicable and non-communicable diseases, the global scholarship has predominantly confined these marginalized people within HIV/STI r…

The Effectiveness of Respondent Driven Sampling for Recruiting Males Who have Sex with Males in Dhaka, Bangladesh
Men who have sex with men's sexual relations with women in Bangladesh
Studies of men who have sex with men in South Asian countries including Bangladesh have tended to focus mainly on measuring male-to-male sexual risk behaviours, with less attention being given to understanding the nature and meaning of their sexual relations with women. This can result in missed opportunities for HIV/AIDS-related intervention. This paper, based on a small scale qualitative study, attempts to develop a cultural model to understand…
