Men's pre and extra marital sexual behavior has been identified as the primary factor in the growing HIV / STI epidemic among both males and females in india. One major barrier to reaching men ahs been their underutilization of public health services, which has severely limited programs geared to prevention and early case identification. A significant number of men in india have string culturally based sexual health concerns much of which are derived from semen loss and deficiencies in sexual performance. This paper reports on an ongoing Indo - US project that has focused onmen's concerns about sexual health problems and assesses the services provided by non allopaths in three low income communities in mumbai. Dinsings indicate that the primary health resources for these men are private, community based non allopaths, who identify themselves as ayurdevic, unani and homeopathic providers. The paper suggests that the combination of strong culturally based sexual health concerns and the presence of private non allopaths who amnage these problem present a window of opportunity for intervention programs to address the challenge of HIV / STI prevention and early case identification in India.
