Résumé :	[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS A8CR0xqk. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. HIV/AIDs risk among migrant workers is often examined through individual determinants with limited consideration of social context. We used data from systematic ethnographic observations, structured interviews (n=50), and life history interviews (n=10) to examine the relationship between loneliness and HIV/AIDS risk for recently arrived (within the last 3 years) male Mexican migrant workers in New York City. Higher levels of loneliness were strongly associated with frequency of sexual risk behavior (r=0.64 ; P=008). From our ethnographic observations, we found that loneliness was a dominant element in workers'migration experience and that 2 different kinds of social spaces served as supportive environments for dealing with loneliness : bars or dance clubs and Catholic churches. Loneliness should be addressed as a critical factor in reducing HIV/AIDS risk among Mexican male migrant workers.
