Background: Sexual behaviour is an important determinant of HIV transmission.

Aims & Objective: To study sexual behaviour among migrant construction workers in Indore.
Materials and Methods: A population based cross sectional survey of sexual behaviour among migrant construction workers.

Results: Median age at first sexual exposure was 20 years. Only 34.68 % of the respondents could tell at least two correct ways of protection from HIV. 16.30 % had sex with non-regular partner. 86.49% of individuals reporting casual sex reported use of alcohol. Condom use during casual sex was very low 29.72%.

Conclusion: The study has brought out that migrant labor is a high risk group for HIV transmission in view of poor knowledge, high proportion of alcohol users among those reporting casual sex, and low proportion of condom use during casual sex.

Key words: Sexual behavior; HIV; alcohol use; Condom; construction worker.
