description This study assesses the level of HIV/AIDS knowledge among migrant workers in Korea and explores key factors contributing to their knowledge. Data were collected from a survey of 1,007 migrant workers from China, Vietnam, the Philippines, Thailand and Indonesia in Gyeong-In region. Results showed that a significant proportion of the respondents had a substantial knowledge deficit concerning HIV/AIDS. Higher levels of knowledge were associated with ethnicity, gender, education and information source. The results of this study suggest that targeted interventions could not only increase knowledge and awareness of HIV/AIDS among migrant workers in Korea but also protect an increasingly vulnerable and socially neglected population against HIV/AIDS infection.
