My last boyfriend was Indian, and was so far back in the closet he needed a miners lamp to see where he was going.  From what I was able to gather India has a long way to go to even be able to discuss sexuality and HIV at a public level.Until it is possible for people to come out comfortably there will always be a limit to what can be done there.
