Description
A decade after AIDS was first recognized, the often repeated dictum that education is the most effective weapon to prevent infection remains valid. This is true because AIDS will not disappear, just as the majority of infectious diseases have not disappeared, even those for which effective methods of treatment and prevention already exist. Therefore, education is not a transitory strategy; if and when effective drugs and vaccines are developed, education will still play a major rolein contending with the epidemic. Enough has been learned about AIDS prevention through education during the last decade to merit reflection on both the failures and successes of this short, tragic but also intense and vital period. The original education models based on fear have been replaced withmore optimistic and even humorous campaigns. Health promotion has moved to centre stage in the global fight against AIDS. This book is an effort to collect and organize a wealth of global experience from many experts and to consolidate new information. Of course, this is not an "AIDS education cook book."
Instead, the book offers the reader a range of views and perspectives from experts in the varied disciplines that make up the very broad field of AIDS education.
