| Summary: | This study, perhaps the first of its
kind in this region, is based on a study that explores the
practice of casual sex among truck drivers and commercial
sex workers in the border areas of Poland and Lithuania at a
point of time, and uses this evidence to extrapolate the
potential impact on the spread of HIV/AIDS in these
countries. After the Introduction which provides background,
Section 2 reviews similar studies carried out elsewhere in
the world. Section 3 describes the methodology employed in
this study, followed by a brief description of the data in
Section 4. Section 5 contains a discussion of the results
and policy implications. |
