- Summary
- Slowing the spread of AIDS... This volume addresses one of the most complex and sensitive question of our time: In the face of AIDS epidemic, how can people be encouraged to exchange risky behavior for safer behavior? The Committee on AIDS Research frankly discusses the difficult health, social, and political issues that shape people's attitudes and the nation's policies in the fight against AIDS. Chapter examine the available data about the prevalence of HIV infection; patterns of sexual behavior in America; the relationship between AIDS and intravenous drug use; methods to persuade people to modify health-related behavior; and social barriers to effective AIDS prevention. A must for policy makers, researchers, public health officials, and educators - anyone concerned about the spread of AIDS.
