AIDS and India
Why is AIDS spreading so fast in India? Gaurav Sabnis summarises from a WHO report:
The reason behind why AIDS is spreading so fast in India is right there for everyone to see, and I am suprised that no one has done anything about it. In fact the reason was staring me in the face just a few minutes after my car drove me out of the Mumbai Airport.Tee hee, and suchlike. Read the full post.
Dotting the roads, and indeed the entire city of Mumbai, were "STD Booth"s!
When I spotted the first one, I put it down to jetlag. But then, I kept seeing an "STD Booth" every few metres. I asked my driver to stop the car near one and I realised that the "booth" which was a small yellow kiosk, actually boasted of being "Government Approved".
There are Government Approved STD Booths all over India, and we are wondering why AIDS is spreading so fast.
