AB  - This paper examines the relationship of frequency, type of alcohol use, sexual 
      risk behaviors and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among married men 
      living in economically marginal communities in Mumbai, India. The findings 
      indicate that men who consume alcohol daily were four times more likely to have 
      had extramarital sex in the past 12 months. In terms of sexually transmitted 
      infections, men who were daily drinkers were four times more likely than those 
      not consuming alcohol in the last month to have gonorrhea (NG) and Chlamydia (CT) 
      infection and three times more likely to have had a past history of exposure to 
      herpes simplex virus-2 (HSV-2) and/or syphilis as determined by biological 
      testing. These results demonstrate that men with daily alcohol use are at 
      greatest risk for STIs and need to be targeted for community outreach, 
      de-addiction services and sex risk reduction education program in India and 
      elsewhere.
