India is facing a rise in the number of people living with HIV/AIDS. The majorities of new cases of HIV/AIDS victims are women having sex with one partner or husband. In many of these situations, their partners and/or husbands are having sex with prostitutes infected with the AIDS virus. The most vulnerable population of women is those who have minimal education living in poverty. Frequently these women have not heard of HIV, and if they are aware of this virus they lack the knowledge about the route of transmission. The purpose of this article is to review the HIV/AIDS epidemic among people living in poverty in India and to discuss strategies of how to deal with this growing epidemic.

Key Words: AIDS • epidemic • HIV • India • partner • sex
