- Abstract
"This publication though meant to be a manual on guidelines has more than that. It skilfully mixes experiences of the implementing agency, CARE, Bangladesh while providing guidelines for field managers. It can also be used as a training manual for grassroots level workers. The lessons learnt are based on five years of experience working with sex workers on HIV/AIDS prevention. The project builds on experiences already gained in the Sonagachhi Project in Calcutta, India.
Readers of this publication will find many lessons not only related to HIV/AIDS prevention interventions, but also general concepts related to the HIV Virus and how it acts, methods of prevention and the importance of recognising the human rights of vulnerable populations."
