- Summary:
-
"This book contributes greatly to our understanding of contemporary sexual behaviour and sexual attitudes in both rural and urban India and in different strata of society, including adolescent girls, sex workers (male and female), college students and slum dwellers." "Presenting case studies from around the country, the original essays in this book identify the contextual, cultural and social factors that contribute to the risk of infection." "With its unique blend of qualitative and quantitative information and its emphasis on the need to develop practical intervention programmes based on a frank understanding of sexual behaviours and attitudes, this book will be of immense use to a wide audience. This includes public health professionals, activists and NGOs, as also researchers, policy-makers and educators involved with HIV/AIDS and sex education."--BOOK JACKET.
