Abstract

"Given the millions of migrants and mobile people in today's world, there is an urgent need for responses that address their particular vulnerabilities to HIV/AIDS. Such responses are critical to the effectiveness of national AIDS programmes in the many countries that experience significant migration and population mobility. They are also critical to the effectiveness of regional and international efforts to combat HIV/AIDS.
Responses for migrants and mobile people must address HIV/AIDS prevention, care and support throughout their journey - before they leave, as they travel, in communities and countries where they stay, and after they return home. These responses must be based on the social and contextual realities faced by migrants and mobile people and should be part of an empowerment that improves their legal, social, economic, and health status."
