 AB    The forecast for AIDS infection in India requires intensive program for
       education against STD infections. The need is much more in sexually
       tolerant societies such as Jaunsar Bawar area in the Sub Himalayan
       region of India. (see map). The paper deals with educational approach
       without reference to the morality of sexual practices in the area. The
       work carried out so far comprises of a socio cultural profile of the
       region and preliminary discussions with the local leaders about the
       danger of AIDS infection in their community. The proposal for funding
       the program has been sent to the Minister of Health, Government of
       India. In the meantime leaders active in the community have been
       contacted for developing the action oriented program in select villages.
       The Jaunsar Bawar community is known to be liberal in their sexual
       practices and hence a victim of most of the STD infections. The findings
       from the community will be used to develop task & community based
       training program.
