Labour migration and HIV is an aspect that needs more intense investigation from my point of view.
From the time of the Bougainville crises, mining boom, election and campaign movements are some of the issues that are part of HIV dynamics. For instance, in POM city due to construction boom of the early 90s, many men had extra money to spend around, so ladies from neighboring urban villages decided to take advantage of this. As a result, high cases of HIV from urban settlements and villages. These men were not only from POM but also from other centers that were in a quest for jobs in POM
Labour migration should be targetted for HIV awareness.
