One of Asia’s largest red light districts, Sonagachi will roll out an experimental project for providing HIV-preventive medicine to sex workers from next month. It will be the first such initiative in the country.

The project is to be financed by the Melinda Gates Foundation.

The initiative, meanwhile, was welcomed by the AIDS Society of India, which felt that the feasibility project could be made part of a policy to prevent AIDS.

“It will surely help bring down AIDS prevalence among those who are in the high-risk zones. The government needs to move step by step. The feasibility project could soon turn into a policy to prevent AIDS, given that the PrEP Medicine is very cheap,” said President of AIDS Society of India, IS Gilada.
