Local responses to the threat of HIV/AIDS in the logging concessions in the Western Province, PNG

这项研究发生在与澳大利亚接壤的西部省份巴布亚新几内亚的伐木特许权上。我们的项目将调查在伐木特许权中影响人们性行为的一些因素。由于有能力吸引移民劳工，这些伐木特许权是艾滋病毒/艾滋病在整个巴布亚新几内亚和向澳大利亚传播的潜在“热点”。根据我们的发现，我们将制定一种基于社区的减少风险干预策略，这将有助于减缓感染传播到西方省和澳大利亚的速度。

This research takes place in the logging concessions of the Western Province of PNG - a province that borders Australia. Our project will investigate some factors influencing people's sexual behaviour in the logging concessions. Because of their capacity to attract migrant labour these logging concessions are potential 'hot-spots' for the transmission of HIV/AIDS throughout PNG and towards Australia. From our findings we will develop a community based risk-reduction intervention strategy that will help slow the spread of infections into the Western Province and Australia.
