Discrimination against HIV-affected individuals in hospitals, schools, and even among families is common, just as discussion about HIV and participation in prevention or treatment programs are not. In<i> </i>this riveting book, sixteen of India's most well-known writers go on the road to uncover the reality of AIDS in India and tell the human stories behind the epidemic.<br><br>Kiran Desai travels to the coast of Andhra Pradesh, where the sex workers are considered the most desirable; Salman Rushdie meets members of Mumbai's transgender community; William Dalrymple encounters the devadasis, women who have been “married” to a temple goddess and thus are deemed acceptable for transactional sex. Eye-opening, hard-hitting, and moving, <i>AIDS Sutra</i> presents a side of India rarely seen before. 4023678 14 10 2008 AIDS Sutra: Untold Stories from India total:24|5:2|4:15|3:5|2:2|1:0| 24 89 75 6 3 0 false false Sat May 30 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun May 24 17:41:00 -0700 2009 Sun May 31 10:10:05 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu Feb 12 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Dec 10 09:50:25 -0800 2008 Thu Feb 12 09:55:42 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri May 15 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu May 07 07:50:00 -0700 2009 Fri May 15 09:07:19 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu Mar 26 02:41:09 -0700 2009 Thu Mar 26 02:41:43 -0700 2009 3 0 true false Sat Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 23 12:13:47 -0700 2008 Fri Nov 14 13:46:38 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Nov 17 19:19:22 -0800 2008 Thu Feb 26 07:47:29 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Nov 22 19:43:55 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 22 19:43:55 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Nov 15 09:01:35 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 15 09:01:35 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Tue Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 28 13:10:25 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 28 13:10:38 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Thu Aug 20 09:12:23 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 20 09:12:23 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Aug 03 07:24:25 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 03 07:35:58 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Jun 29 20:25:19 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 29 20:25:19 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sun Jun 14 00:10:41 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 14 00:10:41 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun May 17 07:40:21 -0700 2009 Sun May 17 07:40:21 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Thu Apr 23 21:18:13 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 23 21:18:13 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Thu May 14 16:48:35 -0700 2009 Fri Apr 17 15:42:23 -0700 2009 Thu May 14 16:48:35 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Apr 06 11:39:57 -0700 2009 Fri May 22 00:41:06 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Mon Apr 06 09:10:38 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 06 09:10:38 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Apr 01 12:55:20 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 01 12:55:20 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Mar 22 14:36:18 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 22 14:36:21 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=3977902
