Book excerpt: This publication examines HIV-related risks and programmes for mobile workers, focusing on truckers in West Africa, with references to South Asia in order to highlight similarities when the profession is the same, but the region is different. The report identifies living and working conditions that put truckers at risk of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections, with examples of programmes aimed at promoting behaviour change among truckers; and sets out recommendations for further research and programme strategies to address this issue.
