The report provides strong evidence that EMPHASIS services have had a positive impact on HIV and AIDS knowledge and communication, on referral mechanisms, on sexual behaviour and condom use and on the creation of an enabling environment to improve working conditions in destination locations and address stigma against migrants and people living with HIV at source locations.
It also argues that as well as interventions to prevent HIV infection, it is essential to create an enabling environment by addressing migrants’ rights and entitlements and their safe mobility and by tackling the stigma they face to reduce their vulnerability.
