Description:
A young girl waits for clients, at the entrance of Sonargachi brothel, in the city of Calcutta. Some Indian brothels have an infection rate of HIV as high as 75%. After getting infected and sick by working in these brothels, these girls are usually replaced with fresh ones. Infected ones are send beck to their villages or rural communities, where once again prostitution is taken up, if not as a primary occupation, as part time. This pattern spreads infections in such remote communities where getting treatment, even for minor infections or disease, let alone HIV/AIDS, is considered a dream.
