Produktbeschreibung

This book explores the HIV/AIDS epidemic in India. Based on research in Tamil Nadu, it presents experiences of those marginalized by their sexuality and/or gender, their struggles and their triumphs. Based on interviews with male and female sex workers, men who have sex with men, aravanis (male to female transgenders) and HIV positive women - groups usually not included in the analysis of Indian government agencies, international donors and international NGOs - the author uses an interdisciplinary approach.
