Working Papers from eSocialSciences

Abstract: An increase in HIV infection has contributed to the problem of RTIs/STIs in India. This paper finds a high prevalence of RTI/STI among the rural women in Haryana. Half of the rural women have no knowledge of the mode of transmission of RTIs and their sources. Relatives and friends are the best source of RTI/STI information. Logistic regression is used to understand the factors responsible for the prevalence of RTI/STI in Haryana.
