What is HIV prevalence ratio of international migrants compared to their native-born counterparts: A systematic review and meta-analysis about?

## Summary ## Background People on the move, including international migrants, may face health inequities that expose them to a higher risk for HIV than native-born populations. We conducted a systematic review to calculate the HIV prevalence ratio of international migrants compared with native-born populations. ## Methods We searched five databases between January 2010 and March 2022. Using random-effects meta-analysis, we calculated the pooled HIV prevalence ratios (PR) by comparing the HIV prevalence of migrants with native-born populations. Our research protocol is registered in the International prospective register of systematic reviews (PROSPERO, CRD42021250867). ## Findings In total, 5,121 studies were screened, and 38 were included in the final analysis: 7,121,699 migrants and more than 270 million natives were included in the analysis. The pooled PR for any foreign-born migrants was 1·70 (95% CI 1·11 – 2·61, __I^2^__=99·67%, __n__ = 33 studies), refugees was 2·37 (95% CI 0·33–16·99, __I^2^__=99·5%, __n__ = 5), undocumented people was 3·98 (95% CI 0·11–143·01, __I^2^__=94·6%, __n__ = 3), whilst asylum seekers was 54·79 (95% CI 17·23–174·23, __I^2^__=90·2%, __n__ = 2).
