In this paper we investigate the interstate migration of people with AIDS to Florida under the hypothesis that a significant proportion of these moves are made to access care and support from elderly parents. We present a variety of aggregate data to support this hypothesis. Data recording interstate moves to Florida show that over 19% of interstate migrants with AIDS chose small cities and largely rural counties as their destinations, places without well-developed medical and social service facilities beneficial to people with AIDS. Moreover, the highest in-migration rates are in counties with the greatest proportion of elderly people, who are mostly retirees from other states. A Poisson regression model of destination choice indicates that the attraction of places with a high proportion of the population over 65 is statistically significant, after controlling for other factors that may also draw migrants with AIDS. We infer from analysis of trends in migration flows, that some people with AIDS may be relocating to seek support from elderly parents.

在本文中,我们调查了艾滋病患者向佛罗里达州的州际迁移,假设这些举动中有很大一部分是为了获得老年父母的护理和支持。我们提供了各种汇总数据来支持这一假设。记录到佛罗里达州州际迁移的数据显示,超过19% 的州际艾滋病移民选择了小城市和大部分农村县作为目的地,而这些地方没有完善的医疗和社会服务设施,这对艾滋病患者有利。此外,迁入率最高的是老年人比例最高的县,他们大多是其他州的退休人员。目的地选择的泊松回归模型表明,在控制了可能也吸引艾滋病移民的其他因素之后,65岁以上人口比例较高的地方的吸引力具有统计学意义。我们从对移民流动趋势的分析中推断出,一些艾滋病患者可能正在搬迁以寻求年迈父母的支持。
