[AIDS: the silent threat to the bi-national security].
This paper discusses the relationship between migration and health using as a case study the problem of Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) in the Mexican-American border. The authors state that the permanent nature of migration between Mexico and the United States points to the need of binational health programs offering health education and promotion, and a greater interaction between the Mexican and the American health care systems.
