Abstract

Internal migrants have been repeatedly characterized as “the tipping point” for HIV epidemic in China. Despite increasing awareness that condom use of the internal migrants is essential in the battle for reducing the spread of HIV/AIDS in China, little is known as to what factors influencing actual condom use in the population. This study aims to explore cognitive and socio-environmental correlates of condom use comprehensively, and test a model for illustrating condom use among internal migrants in Shenzhen, China.
