| Sumario: | For everyone involved in efforts to prevent, and ultimately cure, AIDS, this book - the most authoritative and well-researched to date - is essential reading. Medical authorities, policy-makers, psychologists, social workers and a host of other professionals have all identified AIDS as the most serious and threatening health problem facing society today. It is an illness that presents unparalleled challenges. Contributors to this volume discuss questions arising from the threat of AIDS, such as: What can be done to prevent its spread? Are there psychological costs associated with changes in behaviour aimed at reducing risk? Primary Prevention of AIDS provides a sober, realistic and detailed assessment on the epidemiology of the disease, the modes of its transmission, and populations targeted for special prevention efforts. Special emphasis is placed on behavioural changes in high-risk groups, changes that have proved successful in slowing the spread of AIDS
