Summary: This paper summarizes the main findings for the Walvis Bay section of a much larger study done for the International Organisation on Migration. It looks at the dynamics of HIV risk behaviour among three groups of highly mobile sub-populations most at risk for HIV infections: fishermen, truck drivers and sex workers. In addition to discussing the nature of the interactions between the three groups, it draws attention to the spatial dimensions of the interactions. It also identifies the reasons why each of the groups is vulnerable, points to efforts to reduce their risk and the challenges faced by those who design and implement these programmes. It also draws attention to key attitudes related to risky activities
