A United Nations health report published on the eve of World AIDS Day, observed globally today, has revealed that men who have sex with men, are 24 times more likely to contract HIV. This once again puts the spotlight on the apathy of law enforcers in India towards giving options for the LGBT community to practice safe sex. While a condom preferable for anal sex was meant to be launched in 2011 according to a 2010 Union Health Ministry press release, the Supreme Court verdict to uphold Section 377 of IPC in 2014 -- making anal sex a punishable offence -- meant that the product never saw the light of day.
