Abstract
Background: Sexual behaviour is an important determinant of HIV transmission. Aims & Objective: To study sexual behaviour among migrant construction workers in Indore. Materials and Methods: A population based cross sectional survey of sexual behaviour among migrant construction workers. Results: Median age at first sexual exposure was 20 years. Only 34.68 % of the respondents could tell at least two correct ways of protection from HIV. 16.30 % had sex with non-regular partner. 86.49% of individuals reporting casual sex reported use of alcohol. Condom use during casual sex was very low 29.72%. Conclusion: The study has brought out that migrant labor is a high risk group for HIV transmission in view of poor knowledge, high proportion of alcohol users among those reporting casual sex, and low proportion of condom use during casual sex.
