The HIV Spatial Diffusion in Bombay. India seems to be one of the most infected states by the Human Immunodeficiency Vi rus (HIV) inside Asia. However, the government serological data reveal a problem of under-report. To overcome this lack of information, a sample has been collected in one of the most contaminated cities of the country : Bombay. The data study at different scales reflects disparities of HIV spread in the different areas of the metropolis. «Pathogenic» places for decades have first been infected. Moreover the intra-urban analysis of one of the red-light areas (Kamathipura) reveals a contamination of the population linked with accessibility as well as cultural factors. In view of this infection, the extremist Hindu government of the State has used segregative actions against infected people which might create important tensions in the future.
