Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is rapidly increasing in both high risk groups and the general population. In this study, silent routes of propagation in teenaged Pakistanis are discussed. In order to promote sexual activity in youths, regular clients write contact details of sex workers on the doors of public washrooms. HIV prevalence is much higher among Hijra sex workers. Hijra sex workers have apparently stepped into the profession of begging at public places, where they earn money by both begging and distributing visiting cards offering unsafe sex. In many educational institutes, sex education is lacking or absent; if delivered via teachers, government agencies and nongovernmental organizations this could prevent a future epidemic of sexually transmitted infections in Pakistan.
人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）在高危人群和普通人群中都在迅速增加。在本研究中，讨论了巴基斯坦青少年中HIV的隐性传播途径。为了鼓励年轻人进行性活动，常客会在公共卫生间门上写下性工作者的联系方式。在海吉拉（印度对变性人的称呼）性工作者中，HIV感染率要高得多。海吉拉性工作者显然已涉足在公共场所乞讨的行当，他们通过乞讨和发放提供不安全性行为的名片来赚钱。在许多教育机构，性教育缺失或根本没有开展；如果通过教师、政府机构和非政府组织来提供性教育，这可能会预防巴基斯坦未来性传播感染的流行。
