“Male-to-male sex is also common among certain professions in South Asia. For example, 49 percent of truck drivers surveyed in Lahore, Pakistan, reported having sex with other men, along with 22 percent of rickshaw drivers in Bangladesh. Access to information and condoms is also limited, with prevention programs available to only 2 percent of MSM (men who have sex with men)Â in 16 Asia-Pacific countries.”
American Foundation for Aids Research report as reported HERE.

Very interesting, but why have the researchers specifically targetted truck drivers, rickshaw pullers etc for MSM behaviour? Do gay Southasians get attracted to life as drivers. Would the Bangladeshi Village People be made up of baby taxi drivers, rickshaw pullers, truck drivers and Thela-gari-walas?
No Sid, they are not necessarily gay as such. That is why the term Male to male is used. It is about certain lifestyles - sleeping in garages, the hours of work and other issues.

And lonely housewives with husbands working abroad are suffering from sexual diseases acquired through extra marital relationships. This article also has more information about rickshaw drivers and truck drivers - I have posted about these professions before HERE. […]
