Mental illnesses and related vulnerabilities in the Hijra community
Purpose: The Hijra community is a cultural and gender grouping in South Asia broadly similar to western transgender communities, but with literature suggesting some differences in gender experience and patterns of psychosocial adversity. The present study aims to describe patterns of mental illness and psychoactive substance use in Hijra subjects and study their association with gender experience and psychosocial adversity. Methods: Fifty self-id…
P1-128 A systematic review of sexual risk factors for HIV in India
Introduction India's large HIV epidemic and the potential for epidemic HIV spread in some areas demands a full understanding of HIV transmission. Factors associated with HIV infection in India include: commercial sex work, sexually transmitted infections (STI), numbers of sex partners and male circumcision. We wished to quantify effects of the above risk factors, roughly estimating their size, for each gender and in high- and low-HIV risk populat…
O6-4.2 HIV mortality and infection in India
Introduction To determine the rates of death and infection from HIV in India in a nationally-representative survey of deaths among 1.1 million homes. Methods Survey of 123 000 deaths at all ages from 2001 to 2003. Main outcome measures HIV mortality and infection. Results HIV accounted for 8.1% (99% CI 5.0% to 11.2%) of all deaths among adults aged 25–34 years. In this age group, about 40% of deaths from HIV were due to AIDS and 26% were due to t…
P1-81 HIV, HSV-2 and syphilis among married couples in India
Introduction Differences in sexual networks likely explain the disparity in the scale of HIV epidemics in sub-Saharan Africa and India. HIV and sexually transmitted infection (STI) discordant couple studies provide insights into important aspects of these sexual networks. We wished to quantify the role of male sexual behaviour in HIV transmission in married couples. Methods We analysed patterns of HIV, HSV-2 and syphilis sero-concordance and disc…
Child mortality from solid-fuel use in India
Child mortality risks, from all causes, due to solid fuel exposure were lower than previously, but as exposure was common solid, fuel caused 6% of all deaths at ages 0-4, 20% of deaths at ages 1-4 or 128 000 child deaths in India in 2004. Solid fuel use has declined only modestly in the last decade. Aside from reducing exposure, complementary strategies such as immunization and treatment could also reduce child mortality from acute respiratory in…
