运输部门是南部非洲经济发展的一个组成部分。因此，艾滋病毒/艾滋病对该区域的影响是令人关切的主要原因。我们使用三角测量法，利用综合文献综述、利益相关者问卷调查和联合国区域研讨会的结果，评估了将艾滋病毒/艾滋病与运输部门联系起来的现有证据。本文概述了公路、海运、航空和铁路运输部门的一系列利益攸关方用于解决艾滋病毒/艾滋病问题的战略。它突出了该领域的区域、国家和具体干预措施的良好做法范例，提出了主要的研究差距，并为该区域提出了政策建议。因此，国家行动计划将有望受益于这种知识分享、加强区域合作以及在这一关键部门对这一流行病采取更有效的应对措施。
The transport sector is an integral element of southern Africa's economic development. The impact of HIV/AIDS on the region is therefore a major cause for concern. Using a method of triangulation, we used the findings of a comprehensive literature review, a stakeholder questionnaire and a United Nations regional workshop to take stock of the existing evidence linking HIV/AIDS to the transport sector. This paper outlines the strategies used to address HIV/AIDS by a range of stakeholders in the road, maritime, aviation and railway transport sectors. It highlights regional, national, and intervention-specific good practice examples in the field, suggesting key research gaps and putting forward policy recommendations for the region. As a result, national action plans will hopefully be able to benefit from this knowledge-sharing, enhanced regional cooperation and implementation of more effective responses to the epidemic in this critical sector.
