I agree with Nepaali.
As I mentioned above, the socio economic factor coupled with lack of awareness and education is the biggest hurdle.
-The people (like counsellor,peer educators,facilitator,medical personnel etc) who have direct access to the target client do not want to be seen with them in public.
-Couples/parents are scared to ask medical records.
-AIDS which is no longer a protitute disease cannot be spoken aloud.
-Prostitutes have greater bargaining power than housewives regarding safe sex because they can kick out the client but a wife can't kick their husband.
-Total apathy on the government side regarding this looming danger.
