Abstract

Care and treatment Deportation Discrimination Human immunodeficiency virus Human rights violations International Organization for Migration Migrants
This report describes how discrimination and human rights abuses faced by migrant populations result in increased vulnerability to HIV infection and barriers to care and treatment. The International Organization for Migration has estimated that 192 million people globally, or 3% of the world's population, live outside of their country of birth; and migration can often have serious health consequences with care limited by language and cultural barriers, discrimination, and legal status.
