• Deputy Director, Community Agency for Social Enquiry (CASE) and Associate Professor at the University of Natal. This study was initiated by the Pietermaritzburg AIDS Training, Information and Counselling Centre (ATICC) in its effort to reach out to commercial sex workers and long‐distance truck drivers in the midlands of KwaZulu‐Natal. It was housed and adopted by the Department of Sociology at the University of Natal, Pietermaritzburg. And it became a practical possibility thanks to the generous financial support of the Anglo American Corporation's De Beers Chairman's Fund Educational Trust, the African Medical and Research Foundation (AMREF) and the Australian High Commission. The study was realised by an enthusiastic research team, whose hard work was matched by the willing participation of the drivers themselves, who selflessly gave up rest time to share their lives with us. Particular thanks are also extended to Karen Oellerman (research assistant), Rose Smart (ATICC) and William Okedi (AMREF), and to Dr Bruce Faulds and Prof John Aitchinson (University of Natal, Pietermaritzburg). The author remains responsible for the findings.
