The sexual wisdom of schoolboys derived from garage gossip? Prissy reactions of puritanical prudes? You'd be surprised. These are the informed opinions of 25 general practitioners registered with the Indian Medical Council, practising in Delhi for the last 10 to 20 years. They were responding to a pre-programme questionnaire at a workshop of the Rajiv Gandhi Foundation (RGF), concerned at the rising numbers of HIV positive Indians: 1.8 million as per WHO estimates, organised in January together with the AIIMS-affiliated NGO AIDS Cell, Delhi. The aim: to raise a 90-doctor RGF AIDS workforce that would work in tandem with NGOs for AIDS prevention, control and management.
