Abstract

This article discusses research conducted in three rural Georgia migrant labor camps to collect information about the workers knowledge of and risk for contracting the AIDS virus. The research indicates that there is a significant need for AIDS education and intervention with this often overlooked population. The research took place in three different counties in rural South Georgia. Each county has different demographics and living conditions. In one county the migrant population is Hispanic males living alone. In area two, migrant worker groups are composed primarily of Hispanic family units. Workers in the third area are predominately black American males. -Authors
