移徙工人中的艾滋病毒/艾滋病风险往往是通过个人决定因素来审查的，对社会背景的考虑有限。我们使用系统的人种学观察，结构化访谈（n=50），生活史访谈（n=10）的数据，以研究孤独和艾滋病毒/艾滋病风险之间的关系，最近抵达（在过去3年内）男性墨西哥移民工人在纽约市。较高水平的孤独感与性风险行为的频率密切相关（r=0.64; P= 0.008）。从我们的人种学观察中，我们发现孤独是工人迁移经历中的一个主导因素，两种不同的社会空间作为应对孤独的支持性环境：酒吧或舞蹈俱乐部和天主教堂。应将孤独作为减少墨西哥男性移徙工人艾滋病毒/艾滋病风险的一个关键因素加以解决。(Am J公共卫生。2009; 99：802-810. doi：10.2105/AJPH.2007.122283）
HIV/AIDs risk among migrant workers is often examined through individual determinants with limited consideration of social context. We used data from systematic ethnographic observations, structured interviews (n=50), and life history interviews (n=10) to examine the relationship between loneliness and HIV/AIDS risk for recently arrived (within the last 3 years) male Mexican migrant workers in New York City. Higher levels of loneliness were strongly associated with frequency of sexual risk behavior (r=0.64; P=.008). From our ethnographic observations, we found that loneliness was a dominant element in workers' migration experience and that 2 different kinds of social spaces served as supportive environments for dealing with loneliness: bars or dance clubs and Catholic churches. Loneliness should be addressed as a critical factor in reducing HIV/AIDS risk among Mexican male migrant workers. (Am J Public Health. 2009; 99:802-810. doi:10.2105/AJPH.2007.122283)
