Tanzania: Analysis of male rural-urban migration and HIV/AIDS

The focus of this study is male rural-urban migration in Tanzania and its interaction with sexual behaviour. The analysis presents results from a comparison with individual-level analyses from two populations, one in an urban area and one in a rural area. The findings challenge the view that return migrants are responsible for the spread of HIV and AIDS in rural areas, and the authors recommends that programmes need to be contextually designed in order to understand the cultural context of migrants.
