Epidemiology & medical statistics; Health systems & services; HIV & AIDS

A range of international contributions are brought together in this volume on the research, theory and practice of developing community-based HIV prevention. The work aims to understand how individual actions to prevent HIV transmission are constrained and encouraged by situational and social context. Drawing on ethnographic and epidemiological research among populations of drug users, sex workers and gay men, it explores how future HIV prevention interventions can target changes at the level of the individual as well as at the level of the community and wider social environment. The text offers practical and theoretical insights into community-based health work in the time of AIDS. It provides valuable reading for students, lecturers, researchers and practioners in health promotion, health policy, social work and medical sociology.
