HIV related variability is mobility and migration. Mobility being defined as a change of location and migration being defined as change of residence. It has been observed that ratio of migration is at higher side among male than female. This is the reason why male migrants are at higher risk factors due to freedom, peer pressure and long separation from their sexual partners. It is also observed that most of the female migrants are engaged into sexual activities due to various economic/financial stress, lack of awareness and lack of decision making power.
