Priorities for Local AIDS Control Efforts (PLACE) for Use in Border Areas of Lesotho and South Africa Abstract:

Each day thousands upons thousands of workers migrate from Lesotho to South Africa to work as miners, truck drivers, taxi drivers, sex workers, and other groups prone to high-risk activities, and these workers often put their partners living in Lesotho at risk. MEASURE Evaluation, Sechaba Consultants, CARE Lesotho, and Population Services International Lesotho worked together to prepare this study, which used PLACE protocol to identify areas with high incidence of infection, to map HIV/AIDS prevention activites in these areas and to identify high-risk populations attending these areas. These populations can then be targeted with specially-tailored HIV/AIDS prevention efforts.
