The Congruence Between Adolescents and Their Parents’ Gender-Role Attitudes in Urban Slums of Allahabad, India
HIV, Hepatitis B and C among people who inject drugs
We report a high prevalence of HIV, HCV and HIV-HCV co-infection among male PWIDs in Delhi. A tenth of the participants were HBsAg positive. Targeted Intervention programs should make HBV/HCV testing, prevention and care more accessible for PWIDs

High Uptake of HIV Testing in a Cohort of Male Injection Drug Users in Delhi, India
Relationship between reported prior condom use and current self-perceived risk of acquiring HIV among mobile female sex workers in southern India
The association between high risk perception of acquiring HIV and inconsistent condom use, especially with regular clients and non-paying partners, has not been completely internalized by this high risk group of mobile FSWs in India.

Female sex workers with greater degree of mobility reported significantly more often than the FSWs with lesser degree of mobility that they experienced physical violence, and consumed alcohol prior to sex. Further, FSWs with…
