The main themes of this discussion centered on how migration and population mobility leads to increased HIV vulnerability, conversely how HIV affects migration and mobility patterns, and the impact of the brain drain of healthcare professionals from Southern Africa. This document contains the experiences and voices of over 2500 people working and affected by HIV and AIDS in Southern Africa. This a joint publication of the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and H&D Network.
