Updating Mapping & Size Estimation for Core Groups At Risk of HIV/AIDS in West Bengal

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Introduction

The threat of HIV/AIDS looms large over India, necessitating adequate and effective response to meet this deadly disease. NACO estimated that the number of people infected with HIV in India increased from 3.86 million in 2000 to 5.2 million in 2005. The HIV/AIDS epidemic in India is characterised by heterogeneity. The transmission route is predominantly heterosexual (85.7%), of except in the North Eastern states where injecting drug use is a major driver of HIV transmission.

To combat the pandemic, NACO had already been implemented NACP I and II. The programmme has reached the third crucial phase in the country’s battle against HIV/AIDS - National Aids Control Programme III. The thrust area for NACP-III is a move from project to program mode and changing the role of NACO from implementing agency to program catalyst through State AIDS Control Societies (SACS).

The 'targeted interventions' approach was a key strategy of NACP II all over the country in partnership with NGOs/CBOs offering services like accessibility to condoms, STD services, and through BCC approach by creating an enabling environment. The WBSAP&CS executed NACP-II in the state. Based on the initial mapping and estimation, targeted intervention projects were approved by WBSAP&CS to NGOs/CBOs for implementation.

The NACP-III Design team has initiated an exercise to validate these figures. Hence, past mapping exercise (2003-04) and estimates by TI partners needs updating. The ultimate goal is to provide information of relevance to policy makers for public health action both in terms of geographic location and core group of population affected. To this end, the need for ‘Updating Mapping and Size Estimation for Core Groups at Risk of HIV/AIDS in West Bengal’ has been felt.

This exercise aims to provide actionable information to policy makers, programme managers and vulnerable groups while formulating intervention programme. WBSAP&CS requires state level estimates of different categories of core group population (sub categories of FSW, MSM and IDU) to plan and monitor the targeted intervention programmes.

At present, there is no system and manpower in place to constantly update, retrieve and use mapping data in a systematic manner. Quest Asia has been commissioned by West Bengal State AIDS Prevention & Control Society to update the mapping and size estimation for core groups at risk of HIV/AIDS in the state of West Bengal. Female Sex Workers, Men having Sex with Men and Injecting Drug Users has been included under Core group population.

Objectives of the study

• To identify gaps and update mapping information for core groups at risk of HIV/AIDS (sub categories of Female Sex Workers, Men having Sex with Men, and Injecting Drug Users).

• To design and implement a live mapping database of sites and site estimates along with a system for continuous updating and use of the database.

• To arrive at state level estimates of the core groups at risk of HIV/AIDS

Methodology

A toolbox consisting of different techniques has been used for the study by Quest team.

• Delphi technique and Snowball methods to get consensus estimate by the experts and different CKIs in each locality.

• Triangulation method

• Multiplier method (for places with existing interventions)

• Capture recapture method (trained and a sample case was done)

• Statistical Projections (for places with no information) have been applied. The selection of research techniques has been completely depended upon the field situation, type of respondent and the ground realities at the field.

Geographical Coverage

The study has been carried out in all the 19 districts of West Bengal. In addition to the districts some National Highways connecting West Bengal, State Highways, bordering villages and a few Trucker’s halt points (for FSW) heve also been covered. However, already identified sites have been validated and correspondingly new sites have been incorporated.

Field work has been conducted in 99 towns which is 25% of total census towns in West Bengal.

4 Updating Mapping & Size Estimation for Core Groups At Risk of HIV/AIDS in West Bengal

Female/Commercial Sex Workers (F/CSWs)

In West Bengal an active commercial sex industry provides the main opportunity for sex outside marriage for a substantial proportion of men. Because of high partner turnover and high levels of other STIs, this population is undoubtedly highly exposed to HIV, and may in turn expose their clients. Three types of Female Sex Workers (FSWs) are found in West Bengal - Brothel based, Non brothel based and Home based.

Sex work in most parts of West Bengal is not only concentrated in brothel. Non brothel-based Sex workers are on the rise all over the State. This trend seems to be an unfortunate but reasonable way for women of lower income group to gain an income for their families and themselves. The rising trends of home based activities and other flying characteristics of the general sex worker scenario are petrifying in the state also. The following table and map highlights the present estimation and distribution of Female Sex Workers in West Bengal:

Estimates of FSWs in West Bengal Target Group Sub groups Total Number of Total Estimated sites size Brothel Based sex 82 28200 workers Non - brothel based sex Female Sex Workers 709 25100 workers Home based sex workers 61 4500

5 Updating Mapping & Size Estimation for Core Groups At Risk of HIV/AIDS in West Bengal

Men Having Sex with Men (MSM)

Men having Sex with Men (MSM) constitute a core group vulnerable to HIV/AIDS. MSM categories includes:

• Kothis: mainly anal receptive

• Doubledeckers or Duplis: both anal insertive and receptive

• Parikh: anal insertive;

• Hijras : Anal receptive

Particularly transgender and male sex workers are also at substantial risk for acquiring HIV.

Social discrimination of MSM makes them more vulnerable to HIV infections. NACO through WBSAP&CS has been supporting a few prevention interventions for MSM in West Bengal.

The following table and map highlight the present estimation and distribution of Men havivg Sex with Men in West Bengal:

Estimates of MSMs in West Bengal Target Group Sub groups Total Number Total Estimated of sites size Men having Sex with Men 330 16200 Men having Sex with Men Male Sex Workers 113 3200

Hijras 126 1400

6 Updating Mapping & Size Estimation for Core Groups At Risk of HIV/AIDS in West Bengal

Injecting Drug Users (IDU) Injecting drug use appears to be a continuing phenomenon in urban and non-urban areas of West Bengal. A significant increase in injecting drug use, with drug users switching from inhaling to over-the-counter injecting drugs has occurred over the past years. NACO through WBSAP&CS has been supporting prevention interventions for Injecting Drug Users for some districts of West Bengal.

In West Bengal, not all drug users are street dwellers nor are all street dwellers drug users. Drug users come from a variety of backgrounds – from the richest families to the well educated to poor people. But mostly they are from the economically marginalized community.

In this updating and maaping exercise, a large population of ‘Shadow Users’ have been found who resort to Injecting Drug Use as and when there would be irregular supply of drugs, police atrocities and rise in price of quality Brown Sugar in the market. They prefer to be Oral Drug Users but the gap in supply and demand forces them at times to indulge in Injecting Drug Use. Shadow users have been estimated to be about 20% of IDU population on the basis of findings from the field. The following table and map highlight the present estimation and distribution of Injecting Drug Users in West Bengal:

Estimates of IDUs in West Bengal Total Number of Total Estimated Target Group Sub groups sites size Injecting Drug Users 14400 Injecting Drug Users 335 Shadow Users 2900

I INTRODUCTION

1.0 Background

As HIV/AIDS continue to evolve within communities, countries and regions of the world so do the needs for prevention, care and support. Overview of the AIDS epidemic in India: UNAIDS estimated 5.7 million [1] people of all ages living with HIV/AIDS in India (2005). National AIDS Control Organization (NACO) based on sentinel surveillance data of 2005 from public hospitals, estimated 5.2 million [2] adults, aged 15-49 years. The bulk of HIV infections in India are occurring during unprotected heterosexual acts (National AIDS Control Organization, 2005b). In addition, transmission is facilitated by incidence of STDs, especially among the Female Sex Workers and HIV/AIDS also being spread through Injecting Drug Use.

In 1987 a National AIDS Control Programme was launched to co-ordinate national responses. Its activities covered surveillance, blood screening, and health education. [3]. In 1992 the government set up NACO (the National AIDS Control Organisation) to oversee the formulation of policies, prevention work and control programmes relating to HIV and AIDS. [4]. In the same year, the government launched a Strategic Plan for HIV prevention. This plan established the administrative and technical basis for programme management and also set up State AIDS bodies in 25 states and 7 union territories. It was able to make a number of important improvements in HIV prevention [5].

Estimation of HIV/AIDS plays an increasingly important role in the planning and evaluation of national HIV/AIDS programmes. National programmes need to know where the epidemic is currently concentrated to assist in directing their prevention efforts. They need estimates of vulnerable groups to anticipate prevention and care needs to plan adequately for impact mitigation. Mapping and size estimation provides information on the size and locations of high-risk populations in a geographic location.

Estimation exercises have been conducted in the past at a state level in 2003 by TNS [6] and by individual targeted interventions in their project areas. It is essential to combine the mapping and size estimation information from different sources and update the information.

9 Updating Mapping & Size Estimation for Core Groups At Risk of HIV/AIDS in West Bengal

This exercise aims to provide information to West Bengal state AIDS Prevention and Control Society (WBSAP&CS) while formulating intervention programme for NACP III in the state and plan periodic measurement of HIV prevention behaviour. To this end, West Bengal State AIDS Prevention and Control Society (WBSAP&CS) with technical support from Quest Asia has been carried out Updating Mapping and Size Estimation for Core Group at risk of HIV/AIDS prevention in West Bengal. 1.1 Need for Mapping Exercise

West Bengal state AIDS Prevention and Control Society(WBSAP&CS) works for implementing Targeted Interventions among groups at risk to prevent HIV/AIDS. Most of these interventions are among core groups at risk of HIV transmission and acquisition, such as Female Sex Workers (FSW), Men having Sex with Men (MSM) and Injecting Drug Users (IDU). In order to evolve an effective implementation strategy for intervention programs, it is a prerequisite to map the locations of the concentration of the core groups and their estimation. The information on mapping and size estimation on the size and locations of high-risk populations is desired for planning, monitoring and evaluating TIs. WBSAP&CS requires state level estimates of different categories of core group population (sub categories of FSW, MSM and IDU) to plan and monitor the targeted intervention programmes. Such district and state level size estimation has been carried out with a combination of methods and from mapping data of specific sites.

Mapping of core groups provides data on the locations and estimates of vulnerable groups. This information significantly feeds as inputs to design and implement intervention programs. Number of locations and estimates has also enable WBSAP&CS to allocate resources appropriate to the needs of the districts.

The interventions among core groups are being carried out at known places of concentration of at risk groups such as sites where such groups reside, solicit risk, practice risk, hangouts or network. Mapping provides the location and size of potential/existing intervention sites. Past mapping exercise (2003-04) and estimates by TI partners needs updating. A number of targeted interventions (TIs), managed by NGOs, have been in operation in the state. TI Partner estimates differ considerably from mapping data. Hence, these are inadequate for current planning. There are differing estimations by targeted intervention in the area. There is also need to identify the gaps and update available mapping information using the best possible methods.

The information can provide the context for arriving at useful programmatic recommendations and improving and expanding HIV/AIDS interventions, Behavioral Change Communication and Primary Health Care services. There is no system and manpower in place to constantly update, retrieve and use mapping data. Hence the need to carry out this exercise has been sensed. The present mapping study covers the three core groups namely FSW, MSM and IDU.

1.2 Scope of the mapping exercise

To initiate a focused intervention with high-risk populations, the scope of this mapping exercise is confined to the following outcomes:

10 Updating Mapping & Size Estimation for Core Groups At Risk of HIV/AIDS in West Bengal

• Mapping the geographic locations in each district where high concentrations of populations at risk (three main core groups) are present and can be accessed for effective prevention and care interventions.

• To estimate the number of the above population groups in the mapped geographical areas. The purpose of the estimation is to facilitate prioritization of interventions with different groups in specific sites and to identify the locations of places where members of the target population gather, either informally or formally, where they could potentially be reached with essential services and information on sexual health and injecting behaviors.

• Generating a live database to enable a system for regular updation and maintenance of current data on location and size estimates of high-risk group population.

• The position of vulnerable population groups in order of priority and by districts for achievement of the state figure.

• The nature of vulnerability of the core population groups, mentioned above.

• To give recommendations concerning priorities in scaling up coverage in the state.

• To prepare a concise summary document that depicts the process used in the mapping exercise carried out in the state, the resources used and any observation concerning how it could be improved.

1.3 Objectives of the present study

The principal objective of this mapping exercise is to update and estimate for Core Groups at risk of HIV/AIDS within the state of West Bengal. Female Sex Workers, Men having Sex with Men and Injecting Drug Users has been included under Core group population. This exercise is expected to provide information on the following:

• To identify gaps and update mapping information for core groups at risk of HIV/AIDS (sub categories of Female Sex Workers, Men having Sex with Men, and Injecting Drug Users).

• To design and implement a live mapping database of sites and site estimates along with a system for continuous updating and use of the database.

• To arrive at state level estimates of the core groups at risk of HIV/AIDS.

II METHODOLOGY

2.0 Definition of Core Group

Core Groups: CSW/FSW, IDU, MSM

Sub Groups: CSW/FSW – Brothel based / Non-brothel based / Home based MSM – Men having Sex with Men (MSM) , Male Sex Worker ( MSW)/ Transgender (Hijras)

The following definition have been set for high risk group populations in the present mapping exercise are defined as follows:

• CSWs / FSWs are women who sell sex for cash, kind or favour. A woman will only be considered to be a CSW/ FSW if she has sold sex atleast once in the last month. In this category there are three sub groups: o Brothel based sex worker o Non brothel based sex worker o Home-based sex worker

• IDU are people (men/women/eunuchs) who inject mood-altering substances either through veins or muscles. A person will only be considered to be an IDU if s/he has injected atleast once in the last three months.

• MSM are men who have sex with men. They are considered to be high risk group as they indulge in anal sex, which has got the highest potential of HIV transmission and acquisition. In this category there are three sub groups o MSM: are men who have sex with men o MSW: male who have got paid in cash or kind for having sex with another male atleast once in the last month. o Transgender (Hijras): Male/female who believe the culture and tradition of hijras.

2.1 Geographical Coverage

Updating mapping and size estimation study has been carried out in all the 19 districts of West Bengal as indicated in the list below. In addition to the districts some National Highways connecting West Bengal, State Highways, bordering villages and a few Trucker’s halt points for FSW have also been covered. Continuous information has been sought from all 19 districts to identify three core vulnerable groups (FSW, IDU, MSM). However, already identified sites have been validated and correspondingly new sites have been incorporated. Mapping teams have been continuously looked for information through observation and interviewed key informants (Primary and secondary) about the vulnerable groups to be mapped during the data collection.

A consensus-mapping workshop has been brought forward HIV/AIDS activities together to discuss and decide priority areas for data collection and mapping as well as finalization of research techniques. Workshop participants have been included representatives from WBSAC&PS and WBPSU, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), peer educators and the various at-risk and vulnerable core groups being mapped.

2.3 Research Tools

• Key informant discussion logsheet • Site profile questionnaire • Site estimation format for CKI • Town/village/ward estimation format • Observation recording sheet

Quest Asia has been developed research tools for target groups to collect all the necessary information. The instruments have been finalised in consultation with Mr. C.R. Guna Shekharan, Research consultant from RCSHA, New Delhi.

2.4 Research Techniquies

Different research techniques have been used depending upon the data requirement, type of respondent and the ground realities at the field.in this size estimation and mapping exercise:

• Delphi technique • Snow ball method

14 Updating Mapping & Size Estimation for Core Groups At Risk of HIV/AIDS in West Bengal

• Community Key Informant interview • Interview with target groups • Participants observation • Multiplier method • Capture recapture method • Projection technique 2.5 Training of field team Field personnel have been selected by Quest Asia mainly from Kolkata. The strategy has been included using Peer Educators of the respective NGOs working in the districts. Professionals have been carried out an intensive three days training workshop comprising of supervisors, peer educators and investigators in Kolkata at WBPSU office from February 1– 3, 2007. Discussed issues during the training workshop have been included obejectives and scope of this updating estimation and mapping study, definition of core groups & ethical issues with inputs from Dr. Palash Majumdar of WBPSU, methodology for collection of data, interviewing techniques and a detailed questionnaire briefing. The National Consultant, Mr. Mr. C.R. Guna Shekharan has been contributed in the training with his expertise in Mapping and Estimation exercise. Mock calls and practice sessions have been provided useful insights to each investigator and supervisor about the approach and field methodology to be adopted for successfully carrying out the survey.

2.6 Types of sites mapped and estimated

Types of sites/locations/spots where individuals of vulnerable groups aggregate, reside, work or network have beeb varied for each group and in each districts. Information on types of locations/sites/spots where these groups can be accessed has also been collected during key informant discussions at different levels. Further the sites have been categorized based on their characteristics i.e. nature of activities that the vulnerable group engages in: • Reside/Live (residential areas) • Seek risk (solicit clients, buy injecting drugs etc) • Take risk (have sex, inject) • Work (workplace) • Cruising site/ Hangout (visit frequently usually to meet peer groups or other purposes) • Seek services (Sexual health services and products, general health services) • Network (hidden groups can only be identified using contacts within their networks)

2.7 Approach The approach has been to cover all 19 districts of West Bengal based on already identified sites/locations as per mapping study in 2003 for its updating and searching for new sites as well. The study has been done in different phases in succession or sometimes overlapping. A feedback format has been developed with the mapping data pertaining to the target group and geographical proximity of the project area of the partners for TI for all districts. This format along with the site wise estimates has been sent to different TI partners/NGOs for their comments, feedback and verification of the sites and estimates. These data have been collected as per the mapping study in 2003 and other secondary sources. This feed back format has also been put forward the knowledge about the relevant HRG of their geographical propinquity whose target group may not come in the purview of their present TI. For example, information about FSWs has been sought from partners who are involved in

15 Updating Mapping & Size Estimation for Core Groups At Risk of HIV/AIDS in West Bengal truckers’ projects. The outcome of the feed back format has been revealed that the current estimate in a site by TI partners varies widely from the estimate of last mapping study. Then it had been decided in the meeting of TWG that +/- 100 might be considered as the cut off point. The following steps followed for finalization of sites to be covered in this mapping exercise: Identification of sites for mapping

Receive data from TIs

Compare data with available mapping

Towns/areas with TI/ Towns/areas with no earlier mapping information

Statistical Wide New site Site does not No/minimal projection variation exist anymore variation

Uncovered Area/group Sample Updating validation Detailed through Mapping triangulation

Once sites have been identified, different research techniques have been applied to obtain data from the field in order to achieve the overall objectives. The data collected during the field work has been triangulated to come to an overall estimate of the population size of the target groups. This method involves soliciting of expert opinion on the subject from different key informants without a face-to-face meeting and hereby avoiding direct confrontation of people with opposing views and getting a consensus estimate. Quest team has been adopted Delphi technique and Snowball methods to get consensus estimate by the experts and different CKIs in each locality. Additionally, Triangulation method, Multiplier method (for places with existing interventions), Capture recapture method (trained and a sample case was done), Statistical Projections (for places with no information) have been applied. The selection of research techniques completely depends upon the field situation, having in mind also the advantages and disadvantages for each technique.

Several recruitment strategies have been followed by Quest teams: Group efforts with NGOs which provided services to target population, recruitment of local team of individuals i.e peer educators or outreach workes or community consultants working in these places, approaching to key informants and other people having access to target groups along with collaboration with governmental structures.

In all districts, information has been collected from NGOs implementing HIV/AIDS projects, health departments and service delivery points, community groups, umbrella organizations,

16 Updating Mapping & Size Estimation for Core Groups At Risk of HIV/AIDS in West Bengal other government departments working on HIV/AIDS. Team of two has been carried out the enumeration exercise: Peer Eeducator/Outreach Worker/Community Consultant and an investigator. Where appropriate and possible, individuals from the key population groups have been part of data collection teams. Key population groups have also been interviewed if they have been involved in managing an intervention. However, the groups and their views have been primarily included through out the participatory mapping exercise. The approach has been started with CKI log sheet, validation of sites and finally switched over to the mapping booklet to record estimation. Identification of Community Key Informants (CKIs) Key Informants for Mapping and Estimation for HRG IDU FSW MSM District hospitals /Doctors/ health District hospitals /Doctors/ health District hospitals /Doctors/ health care providers care providers care providers Drug treatment centres Hotel Waiter Hotel Waiter Drug users Hotel Manager Hotel Manager Youth clubs STD booth owner STD booth owner Pan walas/tea stall owner Cab drivers Cab drivers CBOs STI clinics STI clinics SHG (NA members) CBOs CBOs Pan walas/tea stall owner Pan walas/tea stall owner FSWs MSMs/Hijras network Madam of Brothels Massage Parlours

Community Key Informant interviews Armed with the workout sites and past estimates, identification of CKIs is to ensure accurate information. CKIs in mapping exercise have been used to provide estimates of HRG by type/category, about places/hotspots/sites/points for latest estimate of the population at risk of that particular site. Community Key informants are experienced people with direct, expert knowledge of the subject this exercise has been looking for. People identified, as experts by different people/NGOs/CBOs/Peer Educators have been our promising Community Key Informants. Quest team has been tried to probe potential key informants to make sure that they really are experts before accepteing them as key informants and invest time interviewing them. The following principles have been followed when talking with key informant:

• At first, the questions have been open-ended and flexible, later on all unanticipated but important issues that arise in course of discussion have been pursued; • CKIs have neither been told that their views are wrong nor any nonverbal clues or value judgments have been offered; • Sharing of personal experiences (without disclosing strong views) to relax the informants; • Never moved to a new topic until exploration of the topic under discussion has been completed; • Compared answers of different key informants, looking for contradictions and points of consistency in the comments and go on adding separate lead slips for justification; • Key informants interviews’ have been interpreted and summarized and finally mapping booklet has been filled up. For size estimation either for verification or for new estimatiom, interviews of key informants have been conducted in all the sites / locations and the estimated numbers of the vulnerable groups have been collected on the basis of figures given by them. Following conditions are looked into:

17 Updating Mapping & Size Estimation for Core Groups At Risk of HIV/AIDS in West Bengal

• Condition 1: NGO present and CKI identified • Condition 2: NGO present and CKI unidentified Condition 1: NGO present and CKI Identified – CKI1, the first Community key informant and Round 1 estimation has been taken from him/her as his/her estimate. Similarly Round 2 and 3 estimations have been obtained from CKI2 and CKI3. If estimate does not vary (20% acceptable) much among these 3 CKIs final estimation has been noted. (Estimate for each CKI has been supported by justification in point of each CKI’s perception) If estimate has been widely varied (more than 20%) among these 3 CKIs, then Delphi technique i.e. to go back to the previous CKIs has been the next option. Delphi Method has been used here to solicit expert opinion on a particular subject that provides group interaction without a face-to-face meeting. It has been helped to avoid direct confrontation of people with opposing views. If variation not more than 20% with Round 2., final estimation has been confirmed. If estimate still vary widely (more than 20%) then fresh searching for 2 new CKIs has been the next choice leads to final estimation. At every stage justification on the lead slip for final / best estimate has been noted down. Observation for further cross check has also been recorded in separate sheet for each site. Condition 2: NGO present and CKI Unidentified –Multiplier method has been applled here by and large. This method requires information from two sources that overlap in a known way: the first (capture) is usually an institution or service provider with which the population to be estimated is in contact, and the second (recapture) is the population at risk itself. Multiplying the number of people who attend the institution or service provider over a certain period by the inverse of the proportion of the population who say they attended over the same period derives the estimates.

Procedure:

Capture source & recapture source: (Field / NGO/ Peer educator/ Out reach worker / CKI. • Capture Size (unique estimate of service provider registered) • Recapture size (field personnel personally met) • Overlap size (over lap size is applicable for those whom field personnel personally met and those availed institution/ngo’s service) • Final estimate = (Capture* recapture) / overlap size Capture-recapture method has also been used specially for the hidden groups like MSM/ MSW population in West Bengal. Procedure: Enumerators has been counted MSW entering in message parlour known for male sex worker activity. For the capture-recapture estimate, field personnel have been interviewed a certain number of MSW at message parlour on one Saturday night and another section of MSW at the same message parlour a day later. Of this 2nd group of MSW, a portion has been reported being interviewed on the previous day i.e on Saturday. This group is the overlap size. Hence total estimated population = (capture x recapture)/overlap size. Estimating the size of populations at risk for transmitting HIV is critical for AIDS prevention. The capture-recapture method has been proved useful but requires time for collecting data to assess the direction and extent of bias in estimates. Due to time constrains a sample case study has been done.

Projection method based on town populationshas been used for uncovered towns to predict the estimates of HRGs. Projections are made for all locations that have not been covered by mapping exercises and that do not have any intervention. Tertiary key informants contacted

18 Updating Mapping & Size Estimation for Core Groups At Risk of HIV/AIDS in West Bengal also do not have information about these towns. Findings of the projected estimate for uncovered towns of West Bengal are presented in a separate supplementary report.

Observation: The trained field investigators of QUEST have visited the locations/sites where the target groups are located and/or take or seek risk. The investigators have also noted the nature of such high risk behaviours. For example, observation for MSM/MSW or for flying sex workers or for IDU in bars, massage parlours or even on streets or at railway station discussing sexual relationships has been casual. The observation generally has been focused on the types of person at each location and the happening events during the field stay have been jotted down with proper justification (age, sex, social class, nature, numbers, frequency of interaction between individuals, seasonal variations, risk aspects etc). Ethical Considerations • All Informants consent has been taken atleast verbally before using any kind of tools (interviews, FGDs, etc.) to gather information for the study. Every person participating in this study has been given an explanation of the study so that he/she could make an informed decision about whether to participate or not. • Confidentiality and Anonymity have been maintained about all individuals spoken to or interacted with during the study. The information shared by such individuals has been only be used for research purpose, maintaining anonymity. • The Field Investigators have been non judgmental and unbiased while dealing with the Core Group as the nature of the study involves sensitive issues like, HIV/AIDS, sexual behavior and substance use. 2.8 Field operation Eight teams, with one supervisor and 4 to 5 investigators in each team have been carried out the fieldwork for the state of West Bengal from February 15 to March 2, 2007. All together 60 investigators have been working for this exercise, of which 50% belonged to target groups. A special field team of 3 to 4 female investigators headed by a female supervisor has been recruited for data collection of FSW. Mapping booklets have been scrutinized at the field level, in case of any gaps it has been instantly verified and validated with the help of researchers and field supervisors. The following NGOs have been approached during the field study, they helped us by providing peer educators and identifying CKIs for data collection.

2.9 Data management and analysis The entire filled up mapping booklets have been scrutinized thoroughly by Quest Asia team. Then mapping booklets/observation sheets for estimation of core HRGs at each site along with proper justification for estimation have been dispatched to the Analysis Unit for analysis. Data have been analyzed in-house. Data entry of the scrutinized schedules has been done in Ms Excel spreadsheet The entire data has been analysed keeping in view the main objectives of the study: to identify the gaps and update mapping information for core groups at risk of HIV/AIDS and to arrive at state level estimates of the core groups at risk of HIV/AIDS coverage

2.10 Limitations The mapping exercise has the following limitations: • The study being an updating exercise, have been geographically limited to the towns that have been covered in the previous study. • However, a sample survey conducted in 24 towns that have not been coverd in any mapping exercise reveals exixtance of NBSW of significant number. The results are presented in a Supplementary Report, as this is not within the scope of work of the present study. However, this implies that the number of at least NBSWs in the state could be somewhat higher than what has been estimated in this report. • The study does not give an exact count (as that is not possible) but an estimate of vulnerable people available at any site during the survey. • Mapping exercise has been listed the sites/ locations in terms of the presence of the core population groups. • Peer Educators have been employed by intervention partners provided much higher estimates than those found by the updating teams. • Multiplier Method does not always gave a logically acceptable estimate as this tool has been used in the ‘Hot Spots’ covered by the NGOs outreach activities. The NGOs unique estimate has been either right or exceeded to a great extent where overlap size became little less than the recapture size. • In many cases, especially while estimating MSM population, it has been learnt that this Core Group population are very mobile and their cruising nature is not always restricted to particular sites but also extends to local train and bus routes. Therefore, in this kind of situations the town/area estimation has been done applying Multiplier Method. • This is a rapid exercise with time and cost limitations.

2.11 Validation of results

Pre Field: Progress report after pilot feed back survey has been submitted to WBSAPCS for validation of sites of West Bengal. During The Field Work: The rough estimation – district wise – site wise for core HRG has been consulted with WBSAPCS during the course of fieldwork and these feedbacks have been taken as course for corrective measures.

2.12 Uncovered areas Out of the 397 census towns in West Bengal, 99 towns have been covered in the study. At present there is no information on the exixtence of high risk groups in the rest 298 towns. For these uncovered towns, ststistical projection technique has been used to arrive at an estimate. This has been presented in a separate supplementary report.

3.4 Female Sex Workers

3.4.1 Introduction Sex workers in West Bengal operate in a variety of settings. Brothel Based Sex Workers (BBSW) are present in all the districts except Purulia and Daksin Dinajpur. However, a large number of sex workers are not based on brothels. These sex workers could be full time, part time or seasonal. A phenomenal increase in number of such Non Brothel Based Sex Workers (NBSW) has been observed in the state. Another emerging trend is increasing number of Home Based Sex Workers (HBSW) who operates from their home.

With the fast growing cellular phone service network in the state, the nature of soliciting clients is going through a sea change. A large number of NBSWs are switching from traditional ‘Risk Seeking’ cruising sites to ‘Mobile Network’. As a result, a large number of NBSWs have become hidden to a large extent. However, ‘Risk Taking’ sites are, brothels, hotels, farm houses, resorts, parks, massage parlours, etc. Such sites are proliferating in small towns also.

The study reveals the existence of HBSWs in many towns that have been covered during the study. The study has also identified a large number of villages bordering with Bangladesh where HBSWs exist. Their main clients are reported to be Jawans of Border Security Force posted at the border outposts.

Another disturbing trend in the tribal belt of Puruliya and Birbhum is tribal women being increasingly involved in commercial sex work. The internal structure of the sex industry increases vulnerability to HIV and hinders sex workers’ ability to protect them. Highly exploitative working conditions leave individual sex workers with limited power over their lives. Vulnerability is highest where sex workers lack internal solidarity and their own social support networks especially in case of NBSW.

3.5 Men Having Sex with Men

3.5.1 Introduction

State scenario of MSM shows primary concentration in Kolkata and the urban areas of the adjoining districts of 24 Parganas (N) & (S). MSM are also present in all other districts with lesser concentration. They have their own cruising sites, predominantly railway stations, parks, lakes, public toilets and massage parlours in Kolkata and the district urban towns. But the trend in rural belt is different. They have their cruising zones like, bus routes and local train routes. MSM culture of West Bengal shows all MSMs are not Dhuranis (who indulge in multi-partner sex) and all Dhuranis are not MSWs. Therefore overlapping is obvious in estimating the sub-group population

In the MSW population beside the Kothis/Dhuranis, a large number of Gigolos (men who are paid to have sex with women) do exist, especially in the urban cities and towns. It is quite difficult to estimate this extremely hidden population because of the high profile of the customers from the higher income group and also because the deals are made through well-organized networks. Kolkata has the highest number of MSW identified sites followed by the districts of Hugli and Haora.

The mapping exercise furnished a clear picture of Hijras’ distribution in West Bengal. The Pan groups (those controlling a demarcated area so that only particular groups are permitted to work in that area) of 24 Parganas and Sankrail (Howrah) operate in the districts of Purulia, Bankura and Nadia, collecting money from the shops and establishments called Toli. They are also collecting money during marriages or on the occasion of the birth of a child by singing, dancing and showering blessings on the child (Badhai). There are many groups of Khergellas and Dhingras (who does not have any demarcated area to operate and are beggars demanding money from people in the trains, parks and other public places) of Howrah and Kolkata who operates in the local and long distance trains.

Sexual risk factors include unprotected sex and sexually transmitted diseases account for most HIV infections in MSM of West Bengal. Social stigma, discrimination and exclusion make MSM vulnerable to HIV as well create major barriers for access to HIV prevention, treatment, care and support. Social discrimination also leads low self-esteem, which increase an individual’s chances of giving up treatment.

3.6 Injecting Drug Users

3.6.1 Introduction

Injecting Drug Users are present in all the districts with greater concentration in Kolkata, Darjeeling, Jalpaiguri, 24 Parganas (North) and Murshidabad. Drug users come from a variety of backgrounds – from the richest, well educated families to poor people. But mostly they are from the economically marginalized community. Majority IDUs are illiterate or unskilled, thus to support their habit, they indulge in rag picking, daily wage labour or petty crime.

The IDUs are switching over to new sites with the upcoming of high rises in metropolis and urban towns, fear of police raids, local societal pressure (eg.‘Nagarik’ committee) and the shifting nature of the peddlers. As a result a large number of defunct sites has been found with emergence of new sites as well. In Murshidabad, IDUs largely depend on ‘Quack’ doctors who act as peddlers as well for injecting drugs.

Although considerable proportion of opiate users in West Bengal are not injecting drug users, they have the potential to switch to the injecting mode as the phenomenon of ‘shadow’ injecting (occasional injecting at times of heroin unavailability) is observed by the Field Investigators while interacting with IDUs and CKIs from different districts. The IDUs have strongly confirmed that these Shadow Users vary between 15% and 25% of the total IDU population and indulge in Injecting Drug Use, mostly pharmaceuticals, at least for a few days during the scarcity. However, this transitional phase occurs minimum once or twice in 4 to 5 months.

The relatively low cost of disposable syringes and needles and their easy availability at pharmacies, the custom of lending and borrowing syringes among drug injectors is common in the state. Injecting drug use is associated with stigma, discrimination, disapproval and marginalisation in West Bengal. To top it up, there is local pressure from the society. This has forced many of the IDUs to go underground. The unemployment, peer pressure, lack of awareness, lack of opportunities etc. adds to the vulnerability factors .
