Avert Society has been conducting BSS in seven priority districts of the Maharashtra state since 2004 and completed Wave V in 2009. The key objective of the study is to provide trends of knowledge and behaviour indicators so as to inform the program managers for the expansion of interventions leading to reduction in the transmission of HIV / AIDS and Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI) in the select districts of Maharashtra.
