Extract

Since its recognition in the early 1980s, the global HIV/AIDS pandemic has continued to grow relentlessly. Early efforts in HIV prevention sought to influence behavior by providing information about the dangers of AIDS along with recommendations for safe behavior. This approach helped to alert people about AIDS, but was insufficient to promote or sustain behavioral change.

The second approach attempted to promote individual behavioral change by designing AIDS programs that would deliver a mix of information, materials, and services. This program-based approach emerged within communities, was gradually adopted by some countries, and was subsequently articulated by the World Health Organization as the first Global AIDS Strategy. The emphasis during this period was to ensure that each community and country developed its own comprehensive program by adapting a global model to local and national circumstances.

This paper, submitted in October, 1993, draws on the most recent information on AIDS, specifically that from the IXth Intervationat Conference on AIDS, IVth STD World Congress, held in , Berlin, 6-11 June 1993. With the exception of two references taken from AIDS in the World, the following references are taken from the Congress’ conference book of abstracts, Volumes I and II. The Global AIDS Policy Coalition, founded in 1991 with the support of the Association François-Xavier Bagnoud, is committed to tracking the HIV pandemic, to analyzing critically the global response, and to encouraging policy analyses and advancing activities. One of the Coalition’s first projects was AIDS in the World, edited by Jonathan Mann, Daniel Tarantola, and Thomas Netter.Google Scholar
