鉴于运输基础设施的改善和种族隔离时期特有的旅行限制的结束，可以合理地预期，随着城乡联系的加强，男性在性关系中的危险行为将会减少。本研究以南非林波波省为例，利用现有的人口监测系统和专门调查来检验这一假设。我们发现男性的风险行为和缺乏风险意识并没有显著改变，而且艾滋病毒/艾滋病在林波波省的传播有潜在的爆炸性可能性。必须加强措施，使劳动力市场更接近农村环境，以制止这一现象。
Given improvements in the transport infrastructure and the end of travel restrictions characteristic of the apartheid period, there could be a reasonable expectation that male risk behaviour in sexual relations would be reduced as rural-urban connections were enhanced. Using the example of Limpopo Province, South Africa, this research draws on an existing demographic surveillance system and a specialised survey to test the hypothesis. We find that male risk behaviour and lack of awareness of risks have not altered significantly and that there are potentially explosive possibilities for the spread of HIV/AIDS to and from Limpopo Province. There have to be enhanced measures to bring the labour market closer to rural settings to arrest this phenomenon.
