Guest guest Posted July 19, 2004 Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 I worked on a study in 1992 with CDC assessing HIV infection among migrant farm workers. It is old now but we found a very high rate of HIV infection and you might be able to site it as a reference. It was published in MMWR in Oct. 1992 and until then almost nothing had been published on this special population and HIV infection. Every season here we do outreach and testing among MFW but have no “formal” results available.

We are especially interested in data collected by these projects (number of engagements with MFWs, number of tests completed, number of seropositives, etc). Any assistance that you all can provide would be greatly appreciated. Atentamente, Duke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
