在中国的移民文学和艾滋病文学中，移民导致的性行为性别差异都被忽视了。这项研究考察了临时移民在性行为方面的差异，以及使女性移民更容易感染艾滋病毒的因素。结果表明，移民和性别的相互作用使女性临时移民特别容易从事随意和商业性行为。虽然男性临时流动人口与男性非流动人口在随意性行为和商业性行为的流行率上没有差异，但女性临时流动人口的随意性行为和商业性行为的流行率分别是女性非流动人口的14倍和80倍。女性临时移民的失业率较高，而且集中在服务和娱乐部门，这是理解临时移民中按性别划分的临时性行为和商业性行为盛行率差异的关键。迫切需要采取政策措施，促进女性临时移民平等就业，以改善她们的经济福祉，减少她们危险的性行为。
Gender differences in sexual behavior as a consequence of migration have been ignored in both the migration and the HIV literature in China. This study examines differences among temporary migrants in terms of sexual behavior and factors that make female migrants more vulnerable to the risk of acquiring HIV infection. Results suggest that the interplay of migration and gender renders female temporary migrants particularly vulnerable to engaging in casual and commercial sex. Although male temporary migrants do not differ from male nonmigrants in prevalence of casual and commercial sex, the prevalence rates of casual and commercial sex for female temporary migrants are found to be 14 and 80 times those for female nonmigrants, respectively. Female temporary migrants' higher unemployment rate and concentration in the service and entertainment sectors are keys to understanding differences in the prevalence of casual and commercial sex among temporary migrants according to sex. Policy measures to promote female temporary migrants' equal access to employment are urgently needed to improve their economic well-being and to reduce their risky sexual behavior.
