dc.description.abstractThis study, perhaps the first of its kind in this region, is based on a study that explores the practice of casual sex among truck drivers and commercial sex workers in the border areas of Poland and Lithuania at a point of time, and uses this evidence to extrapolate the potential impact on the spread of HIV/AIDS in these countries. After the Introduction which provides background, Section 2 reviews similar studies carried out elsewhere in the world. Section 3 describes the methodology employed in this study, followed by a brief description of the data in Section 4. Section 5 contains a discussion of the results and policy implications.en
