2. Significance of the study
 According to the international organization
for migration, migration is one of the key
global issues of the 21st century. There are
about 192 million people or about 3% of
world’s population who are living outside

international labour migration as the
movement of people across national
borders for employment.

factors are seen to be responsible for
including large scale migration.

seasonal labour migrants in Nepal.
Separated from their spouses and adrift
from the social bindings many of these
migrants indulge in both internal and
external are high risk groups for HIV

 Recent data shows around 20% of migrants
engage in unprotected sex in India and as a
result, this group now accounts for 40% of all
HIV infection in Nepal.
 HIV prevalence in migrants is reported at
1.4% (west) and 8.0 % (far west) although
prevalence among wives of migrant is 3.3%.
 Knowledge about HIV among migrant appears
to be the lowest 15.8. In the far western region
and 17.2 % in western region.

5. Significance contd…….
 A 2002 study suggests that HIV prevalence
is nearly 8% in the migrants returning from
Mumbai. According to above projected
data, migrants from Nepal to other
countries for various purposes are more
vulnerable for getting chance of HIV/AIDS.
 So it is important to have knowledge
about knowledge regarding HIV/AIDS
.preventing ways is very necessary for
such workers.

6. Contd……..
 So for this research researcher keenly
interested to investigate knowledge status
about HIV/AIDS and hope this study will
benefited to make strategy for further
national programme focusing them.
