Considering risk contexts in explaining the paradoxical HIV increase among female sex workers in Mumbai and Thane, India
Targeted harm reduction programmes with sex workers fail when implemented in complex urban environments that favour abolition. Increased stigmatisation and dispersal of risk can no longer be considered as unexpected. Reaching the increasing proportion of sex workers who intentionally avoid HIV prevention programmes has become the main challenge. Future evaluations need to incorporate building 'dark logic' models to predict potential harms
Associations of long‐chain polyunsaturated fatty acid concentrations with birth outcome in term Indian mothers and their neonates
The purpose of this study was to examine the maternal and cord long‐chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (LCPUFA) concentrations and their associations with birth outcome in term deliveries. Pregnant women ( n = 253) delivering at term were divided into two groups based on their babies' birth weights (1) normal birth weight (NBW), that is, ≥2.5 kg ( n = 190) and (2) low‐birth weight (LBW), that is, n = 63). Each group is further divided into two grou…
Repeated pregnancy among women with known HIV status in Pune, India
HIV-positive women of reproductive age face challenges in decision making related to pregnancy. Understanding factors influencing repeat pregnancies in women with known HIV status are necessary to guide interventions and counseling strategies to better inform and support them. We compared three groups of women attending a large antenatal clinic in Pune, India. They include: Group A--63 HIV-positive women coming for care for a repeat pregnancy aft…

However, 25 years on, both restrictions in the law and the way it is implemented through service delivery have failed to meet the abortion needs of large numbers of women. Using data from a larger qualitative study in rural Maharashtra, this paper explores women's perceptions of their rig…
