Thus, to strengthen prevention efforts, it is crucial to understand migrants\u2019 vulnerability to HIV\/AIDS. This article contributes to this understanding by analysing the perspectives of prevention actors and migrants. Data were collected through a qualitative and participative research study conducted in Switzerland. Twenty prevention actors and 28 migrants participated in in-depth interviews. Results show that migrants\u2019 difficulties in accessing and adopting measures to prevent HIV are related to three types of situational vulnerability that increase their vulnerability to HIV\/AIDS: social vulnerability, which refers to social inequalities in access to care; relational vulnerability, which refers to unequal distribution of power within intimate relationships; and sexual vulnerability, which refers to stigmatization of sexualities that some people may consider as socially nonconforming. For HIV\/AIDS prevention to be successful among migrants, power structures such as sexism, heterosexism, cisgenderism, ethnocentrism, and racism need to be addressed. Reducing stigma related to HIV among migrants requires a struggle against these power structures as well as health inequities.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Keywords<\/strong>: HIV\/AIDS vulnerability, migration, social, relational and sexual vulnerabilities, social inequalities, power structures<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author(s) : Francesca Poglia Mileti, Laura Mellini, Marc Tadorian Source&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kadence_starter_templates_imported_post":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":true,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[59],"tags":[739,7,37,9,157,350,608,154,122,411,442,354,47,257,144],"class_list":["post-37153","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-health","tag-739","tag-article","tag-attitudes-towards-migrants","tag-english-language","tag-health-care","tag-health-inequalities","tag-hiv","tag-interviews","tag-migrants","tag-perception","tag-preventive-medicine","tag-sexual-health","tag-social-inequalities","tag-stereotypes","tag-vulnerability"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37153","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=37153"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37153\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=37153"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=37153"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=37153"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
