本文介绍了1997-1999年期间CARAM东南亚研究网络进行的定性研究的结果。在亚洲几个国家，与移徙工人进行了面谈和重点小组讨论，内容涉及他们的工作条件、获得保健的机会以及影响易感染艾滋病毒/艾滋病的因素。影响移徙者性行为的因素包括目的地国和是否存在商业性性服务部门。性行为方面的文化差异也很重要。由于移民社区的社会控制往往有限，在国内被禁止的性关系在国外往往是可能的。除了继续属于自己的家乡社区外，移徙者还逐渐适应国外的新社区。在这样做的过程中，他们采取了所谓的“移民身份”，这可能导致否认某些（性）行为。这使得传统的艾滋病毒/艾滋病预防办法难以接触到他们。
This paper presents findings from qualitative research carried out by the CARAM Southeast Asia Research Network in the period 1997-1999. In several countries in Asia, interviews and focus group discussions were held with migrant workers about their working conditions, access to health care, and factors affecting Vulnerability to HIV/AIDS. Factors that have an impact on migrants' sexual behaviour include the country of destination and the availability of a commercial sex sector. Cultural differences with respect to sexual behaviour are also important. As social control in migrant communities is often limited, sexual relationships that are prohibited at home are often possible abroad. Besides continuing to belong to their home communities, migrants gradually adapt to their new communities abroad. In so doing, they adopt a so-called 'migrant identity' which can lead to a denial of certain (sexual) behaviours. This can make them difficult to reach by means of conventional HIV/AIDS prevention approaches.
