The article discusses research on the risk factors of sexually transmitted infections (STI) among truck stand workers in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The aim of the study was to describe the prevalence of selected STIs and their risk factors in and near a truck stand in the city. The study revealed that both behavioral and STI data have proposed that truck stand workers must be included in the STI and HIV intervention programs.
