Lack of preventive steps raises HIV risk

Reluctance to use condom and abrupt use of syringe increase the risk of HIV infection and spread of sexually transmitted diseases (STD) in the country.
Poverty-ridden women, who engage in sex work, become more vulnerable to HIV/AIDS and STD as sex buyers show reluctance to use condom.
Sex workers could not compel customers to use condom in the fear of losing money or assault from the customers. Chief of sex workers also do not compel sex buyers to use condom fearing loss in business, investigation revealed.
Aklima Begum, a leader of Kandapara Brothel of Tangail, told this Correspondent that she knows about HIV and STD and supplied condom to the sex workers but very few customers use condom.
Customers are not only reluctant to use condom rather they often get furious on workers and assault them, she said.
