It demonstrates that HYP improvise with resources available on the streets to improve their social and financial status, although they experience significant social structural constraints. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThis ground-breaking text provides an analysis of social processes that contribute to young people’s homelessness, their engagement in sex work, their establishment of intimate partnerships, and sexual practices which may increase their risk of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The book demonstrates how the ongoing social and financial instability and insecurity neutralises HYP’s knowledge of HIV\/STIs, and how financial considerations, fear of violence by clients, and social obligations in intimate partnerships contribute to their sexual risk-taking. The author argues that the conventional approach of promoting health through raising awareness regarding HIV\/STI prevention may continue to bring less than promising outcomes unless we focus on how structural and contextual conditions operate in the backdrop and produce conditions less conducive for young people. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eIncluded in the coverage: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e factors that contribute to youth homelessness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003efactors that shape sexual practice  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ea Bourdieusian analysis of youth homelessness and      sexual risk-taking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ea health promotion approach that can potentially      reduce youth homelessness and their risk of HIV\/STIs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eHomeless Youth of Pakistan: Survival Sex and HIV Risk \u003c\/i\u003ewill attract undergraduate and postgraduate students, and researchers interested in exploring issues such as youth homelessness, sexual risk-taking, and HIV\/STIs. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMuhammad Naveed Noor, MSc, MPhil, PhD \u003c\/b\u003eis an Assistant Professor of Health Policy and System Research at the Aga Khan University, Karachi, Pakistan.
