Risk factors associated with the spread of HIV are common among South Africa’s transient populations migrant workers and prisoners. Social ills in South Africa have yielded a growing transient population. Importantly, the migrant workers and prisoners in this population are likely to subscribe to masculine beliefs. Migrants have proven to be an effective bridge in the spread of HIV from high-risk to low-risk populations. Link: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19711492
