The paper examines whether targeted interventions, the main component of India's National AIDS Control Program, have effectively addressed the HIV prevention needs of women sex workers in Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra. Gender inequities play a critical role in fueling the epidemic and need to be addressed in programs and strategies focused on women, including female sex workers. An increasing body of program experience with sex workers reviewed for this analysis highlights the limitations of models that fail to address the broader needs and rights of sex workers as human beings.
