Abstract: Population mobility is an intrinsic human condition. People have always moved over space and time, and always will. Yet mobility can be hard to define and measure, and thus it is challenging to understand the effects of mobility on the spread of HIV. In The Lancet HIV, Oliver Ratmann and colleagues1 combined social and demographic data with phylogenetic data in an innovative way to measure whether migration led to the spread of HIV from high HIV prevalence fishing communities along Lake Victoria to neighbouring inland communities in south-central Uganda.
