A study has investigated the impact of worker emigration on HIV epidemics in labour export areas, specifically in Guangyuan, China. However, reports also suggest that the issue of HIV epidemics is being affected by various global factors, including funding cuts and the covid-19 pandemic, although the specific connection to the study in Guangyuan is unclear. The impact of HIV/AIDS is also being felt in other areas, such as agriculture and food security, as well as among migrant workers in different parts of the world.
