This book provides a comprehensive overview of behavioral interventions to prevent HIV-AIDS risk-related behaviors. It synthesizes the empirical literature on individual, group, and community-level interventions and provides an objective and detailed assessment of intervention outcomes. Factors associated with behavioral risk for HIV transmission, theories of HIV risk behavior change, and the state of HIV prevention technology transfer are also reviewed. Additionally, behavioral interventions for adolescents and adults of diverse ethnic and sexual backgrounds are discussed with respect to each intervention type. Although the focus is on sexual risk reduction, interventions for sexual behavior of substance abusing populations are also covered.

Full consideration is also given to ethical and policy issues, and to the risks faced by health care providers. First published in 1993.

HIV/AIDS at Year 2000 by Vincent J. Lynch Pdf

The author proposes that, "In order to practice competently, all social workers need to have a grounding in HIV issues so they can serve those populations at risk." This book provides that grounding. Offering cutting-edge information about HIV/AIDS, it shows how the disease affects communities, and how social workers work within those communities and with those affected with HIV/AIDS. It brings together the latest medical, psychosocial, and values and ethics issues around HIV, through vignettes that illustrate the problems and challenges social workers face. Dr. Lynch and a number of contributors are recognized national leaders in HIV/AIDS in social work. The book begins by discussing the key medical, psychosocial, and ethical contexts within which social work with HIV/AIDS clients takes place, then looks at who in the U.S. today is most impacted by the disease. Taking an ecosystem perspective, it examines in particular how the epidemic has ravaged poor communities and communities of color. Finally, the various roles of the social worker are presented, including prevention, social advocacy and policy issues, treatment, mental health issues, bereavement, and spirituality. For social workers, related professionals, and community leaders working with populations at risk.

HIV Prevention by Kenneth H. Mayer,H.F. Pizer Pdf

HIV/AIDS continues to be the pandemic of our times and there has not been a comprehensive medically based AIDS prevention book published in the last 5 years. It is estimated that 36 to 45 million people including 2-3 million children already are infected worldwide and an additional 4-7 million more are infected each year. There are about 6,000 new infections daily and about 12 million AIDS orphans. People receiving AIDS treatments feel well and have no detectable viral load, but still can infect others. And even when a vaccine is found, it will take many years before it can be administered across the developing world. * Discusses all aspects of AIDS prevention, from epidemiology, molecular immunology and virology to the principles of broad-based public health prevention interventions. * Special focus on the array of interventions that have been proven effective through rigorous study * Identifies new trends in HIV/AID epidemiology and their impact on creating and implementing prevention interventions * Incorporates virology, biology, infectious diseases, vaccinology, microbicides and research methodologies into AIDS prevention
