Abstract
This knowledge brief summarizes the
results of a November 2007 study that examined attitudes and
approaches toward HIV prevention and care among health and
transport sector institutions, non-governmental
organizations (NGOs), transport sector workers, and sex
workers (SWs) in Georgia. The aim was to identify the unique
needs of transport sector workers with respect to HIV so
that specific strategies and targeted intervention programs
within both the health and transport sectors can be
developed. The study was based on two quantitative surveys
conducted with truckers, sailors and sex workers in Poti,
Batumi and Gori in Georgia, and on qualitative surveys
conducted with health and transport sector institutions and NGOs.
