Prostitutes of GB Road - HIV/AIDS

photo from tribuneindia.com
There are 37,900 registered sex workers in Delhi. Most, if not all, of them are on GB Road. It is not mandatory in India for sex workers to have a health certificate on STDs, so many of these workers are passing on many STDs to their customers. In 2004, 8% of workers in brothels tested positive for HIV. Right now in 2010 those numbers are likely to be drastically higher. Please pray for these women. Most of these women cannot afford to go to the doctor and also cannot afford medicine. Pray for Christian women in Delhi. Pray that they share with these women. Pray that they learn about Jesus! Pray for them as they are hurting, that their hearts are healed through a relationship with Jesus!

"O Lord my God, I called to you for help and you healed me."
Psalm 30:2
