    ILO thematic update - HIV doesn’t stop at borders: A human rights approach to protect migrant and cross-border workers

    09 June 2011

    Migration and mobility are not factors for HIV transmission, however, the migration process itself, as well as precarious working and living conditions that migrant workers often experience while separated from their families, may expose them to associated risks. Most of them have little or no access to social protection and health services. ILO/AIDS programmes cover international as well as internal migrant and mobile workers.
