中国可能是全球艾滋病毒流行的下一个前沿。预计这一流行病的增长的核心是中国新增的、不断增长的农村人口向城市流动。尽管估计有 1.2 亿流动人口，但关于他们在城市地区生活的社会和文化背景以及他们与艾滋病毒相关的看法和行为的信息却很少。这项定性研究基于对北京和南京这两个中国主要城市的 90 名农村流动人口进行的深入的个人访谈，旨在探讨这些问题，特别关注它们与艾滋病毒性传播的相关性。研究结果表明，迫切需要制定艾滋病毒/性传播感染预防计划，以解决中国流动人口面临的文化、社会和经济限制。
China is the next probable frontier for the global HIV epidemic. Central to this anticipated growth of the epidemic is the nation's new and growing population of rural-to-urban migrants. Although there are an estimated 120 million migrants, little information is available about their social and cultural context of their lives in urban areas and their HIV-related perceptions and behaviors. On the basis of the in-depth individual interviews conducted among 90 rural-to-urban migrants in 2 major Chinese cities, Beijing and Nanjing, this qualitative study was designed to explore these issues with a particular focus on their relevance to sexual transmission of HIV. The findings suggest an urgent need for HIV/STI prevention programs that address the cultural, social, and economic constraints facing the migrant population in China.
