Learning Explainable Interventions to Mitigate HIV Transmission in Sex Workers Across Five States in India

Understand

Female sex workers(FSWs) are one of the most vulnerable and stigmatized groups in society.

• As a result, they often suffer from a lack of quality access to care.
• Grassroot organizations engaged in improving health services are often faced with the challenge of improving the effectiveness of interventions due to complex influences.
• This work combines structure learning, discriminative modeling, and grass-root level expertise of designing interventions across five different Indian states to discover the influence of non-obvious factors for improving safe-sex practices in FSWs.
