INDIA-SOCIETY-HEALTH-TRANSPORTATION-TRUCKERS

Indian truckers walk past parked trucks with female prostitutes at the Sanjay Gandhi Transport Nagar, a transport rest area in New Delhi early on September 8, 2012. Most prostitutes have between 15-20 clients per night, most of them truckers, making 100 rupees (2 USD) for each one. At the Transport Nagar there are over 2500 trucks parked at any moment, and approximately five million truck drivers and helpers travel the 66,000 km of national highways in India. One third of truckers report commercial sex and truckers are an estimated 10-12 per cent of clients of sex workers. HIV prevalence among long-distance truckers ranges from three to seven per cent, and one to seven per cent have at least one sexually transmitted disease (STD).
