NPR's 'All Things Considered' Examines How Greater Acceptance Of India's Gay Community Helps HIV Fight
NPR's "Shots" blog includes an "All Things Considered" story that examines how "a 2009 benchmark ruling in Delhi's High Court," which "struck down a 148-year-old law known as Section 377, a holdover from British colonial rule that made homosexual acts illegal," has led to a wider level of HIV outreach to Mumbai's gay community. Vivek Anand, CEO of the Humsafar Trust, "which provides free HIV tests and other health services to Mumbai's gay community," said the ruling has helped health workers gain a better understanding of HIV prevalence among India's gay population, the blog notes.
