“…Rapto (abduction and sexual intercourse as a form of "marriage") still occurs in some rural and indigenous Mexican communities, although more commonly the rapto is a consensual drama played out by the young couple because they lack the economic resources for a church or civil wedding. Even when consensual, forming a relationship in this way isolates the woman from her family of origin and results in low social status, which in turn can contribute to domestic violence, decreased ability to negotiate safer sex, and increased vulnerability to HIV infection (Hernández-Rosete, Maya- García, Bernal, Castañeda, & Lemp, 2008). Pilar did not return to her family after the abduction and rape (rapto) because "my uncles kept me on a short leash and they told me that if I ever came home with a big belly [pregnant], I would no longer be part of their family, so I stayed with him."…”

HIV Vulnerability and Condom Use Among Migrant Women Factory Workers in Puebla, Mexico

International migration is associated with increased HIV vulnerability, but little is known about the vulnerability of internal migrants. This qualitative study explored perceptions of HIV and condom use among Mexican migrant female factory workers. Migration and male sexual infidelity contributed to increased HIV vulnerability and unprotected sex was ubiquitous. The dominant cultural discourse that dichotomizes "good" (monogamous) and "bad" (sexually stigmatized) women, and male partner's resistance, were barriers to condom use. Women's positive attitudes toward the dual protection (pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections) offered by condoms and sexual agency expressed by refusing unwanted sexual contact are resources for HIV prevention.

“…Sexual harassment, abuse, or rape are commonly reported by female labor migrants (5,11). Apart from their own health risk, labor migrants who contract HIV and then return home can expose their home-country sexual partners—often wives or permanent partners—to the disease (12,13). Social factors that contribute to vulnerability include stresses associated with being away from spouses and other emotionally important persons in one’s home country for extended periods, as well as with lack of acculturation and assimilation in a destination country.…”

Background Although the dire life circumstances of labor migrants working in Russia are well-known, their HIV risk vulnerability and prevention needs are understudied. Low socioeconomic status, lack of access to services, separation from family, and limited risk awareness all contribute to migrants’ HIV vulnerability. Methods Male labor migrants in St. Petersburg (n=499) were administered assessments of their sexual behavior practices, substance use, and psychosocial characteristics related to risk and well-being. Results Thirty percent of migrants reported multiple female partners in the past 3 months. Condom use was low, ranging from 35% with permanent to 52% with casual partners. Central Asian migrants had very low AIDS knowledge, low levels of substance use, moderate sexual risk, high depression, and poor social supports. Eastern European migrants had higher AIDS knowledge, alcohol and drug use, and sexual risk. Discussion Improved HIV prevention efforts are needed to reduce the risk vulnerability of migrants who relocate to high disease prevalence areas.

“…Other aspects related to this situation are "machismo," alcohol abuse of the male partner, and domestic violence against women. Studies conducted in Mexico among Indigenous women suggest that they are at increased risk of HIV as a result of having partners who are migrants who cyclically return to the home (Hernández-Rosete et al, 2008;Maier, 2007). This aspect of risk among Indigenous women merits further research in Colombia.…”

There are 87 Indigenous ethnic groups in Colombia, representing 3.4% of the country's population. Poverty, forced displacement, and social and health inequities place Indigenous communities at increased risk of HIV/AIDS. However, little is known about the prevalence of HIV in this population. The objectives of this study were to estimate the prevalence of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections in an Indigenous community in Colombia, and to assess community members' knowledge about the disease and its risk factors. The study, conducted in 2010, was initiated at the request of the leadership of the community of Cristianía and involved community members in all stages of the project. HIV prevalence data were gathered through rapid testing of a random sample of 295 community members between the ages of 15 and 49 years. As well, researchers administered a survey related to sexual behaviours and knowledge about HIV. Findings revealed 3 cases of HIV, a prevalence of 1.02%, 95% CI [0.21, 2.94]. The 3 cases were women. The majority of individuals sampled had heard of HIV or AIDS, but their level of knowledge about the mechanisms of virus transmission varied substantially. The results of this study, the first to explore the prevalence of HIV among Indigenous people within a community in Colombia, suggest a need to investigate HIV prevalence within other Indigenous communities in Colombia.
