A new Aids threat is rising in India’s numerous call centers, where young staff are increasingly having unprotected sex with multiple partners in affairs developed during nights shifts, a top Aids expert has warned.

 

While India had made great strides in bringing down its HIV infection rate, the promiscuity among  “cell centre Romeos” is a great concern.

The united Nationals how ever, still estimate there are some 2.5M Indians living with HIV and Aids now

“India has reach the plateau of infections”, my concern now is the call centre, where the many of tee young stuff work at night to correspond with the day time working hrs of there American and European clients.

“they have all the money they huddle together in the night. They are young, they sexual active,

so naturally they start”. And many call centers workers visit clinic every week to get tested for

HIV because they are worried after having unprotected sex.

 

It is estimated that India’s call centers employ some 1.3million people, mostly youth fresh out of the school and colleges earning an starting salary of Rs25000 a month, more than a govt. pay check.” U will see call Center Romeos are major high risk for HIV”,

There are no figures for how many call centers workers are infected with HIV.
