Jacob is studying multiple vulnerabilities among People Who Inject Drugs (PWIDs) – This research focuses on the scope for primary prevention among PWIDs in their injecting as well as sexual networks. This work also looks into scope for integrating sexual reproductive health services with maternal and child health services. He finds this topic very interesting looking at India’s HIV control programme (which looks at prevention programmes aimed at high risk groups for HIV) at one hand,and the existing social cultural structure with patriarchy and status of women and how these affect access to health on the other to understand various dimension of vulnerabilities for transmission in the population.
