Abstract

Sex workers are the most vulnerable victims of HIV/AIDS. Yet few HIV/AIDS intervention projects among sex workers in India have been successful. The lessons to be drawn from the unique success of the Kolkata-based Sonagachi Project in controlling the spread of HIV/AIDS among sex workers, therefore, deserve the most careful consideration.
