But condom use is low, gay and bisexual prostitution is common, and many married men hide their bisexuality and risk infecting their wives. In some countries, even male prostitutes often marry for appearances’ sake.  Truck drivers, prisoners and street children often engage in risk behaviors for H.I.V. infection; in Pakistan, infection rates are rising rapidly among transgender prostitutes known as hijra.  The lowest rates of condom use were reported in populous countries like Egypt and Pakistan, while they were highest in Sudan (above), Oman and Lebanon.  To fight their nascent epidemics, some countries have adopted compulsory H.I.V. testing for marriage licenses and work visas.  Accurate statistics on some aspects of health are hard to get from governments in some Middle Eastern countries. For example, international health authorities say that the world’s highest rates of birth defects are in Muslim countries where cousins sometimes marry, but that governments are reluctant to admit it.පේනවා නේද  මුන්ගේ තියෙන මෝලේ  තරම , පොඩි කෙල්ලන්ට කෙලිනවා මදිවට දැන් මුන් කොල්ලෝ ගහන්නත් පටන් අරන් මම නෙවෙයි ඔහොම කියන්නේ , කව්රු දනීද ඕවයේ ඇත්ත නැත්ත <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/P.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":P" title=":P    :P" data-shortname=":P" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/P.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":P" title=":P    :P" data-shortname=":P" />[CODE]http://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/09/health/09global.html?_r=1[/CODE]</blockquote>
