Abstract
Jude Mary Antonyappan looks at the prevention and treatment of HIV/AIDS among women and children in Tamil Nadu, India. The study looked at the prevention, education and treatment of women and children with HIV/AIDS, working with women who were engaged in risky sexual behavior in the construction, hotel and coffee industries. She argues there is an urgent need for understanding how cultural factors compounded by poverty and the poor infrastructure for health delivery can be addressed in the war to combat HIV/AIDS in India.
