LOPEZ-SEVERINO, Irene  y  MOYA, Antonio de. Migratory routes from Haiti to the Dominican Republic: implications for the epidemic and the human rights of people living with HIV/AIDS. Interam. j. psychol. [online]. 2007, vol.41, n.1, pp.7-16. ISSN 0034-9690.

The presented study analyzes the possibility of a relationship between the migratory flow from Haiti toward the Dominican Republic and the spread of HIV/AIDS, as well as implications for the human rights of immigrants living with the infection. Its purpose is to identify possible areas of intervention and research in order to increase the participation of this population and its organizations in HIV/AIDS awareness and prevention efforts. The current study was carried out in three main phases: 1) review of existing documentation on the relationship between Haitian immigration, HIV/AIDS, and the human rights of infected people; 2) semi-structured interviews with key informants, authorities, and experts in the areas of concern; and, 3) eight case studies of Haitian immigrants living with HIV/AIDS in agricultural bateyes in the Dominican Republic. Results evidence the stigmatizing scenarios that immigrants living with HIV/AIDS face.
