Globally, action to prevent HIV spread is inadequate. Over 16,000
new infections occur every day. Yet we are not helpless in the face
of disaster, as shown by the rich prevention experience analyzed in
this valuable new compendium. "Best pr- tice" exists-a set of tried
and tested ways of slowing the spread of HIV, of persuading and
enabling people to protect themselves and others from the virus.
Individually, features of best practice can be found almost
everywhere. The tragedy, on a world scale, is that prevention is
spotty, not comprehensive; the measures are not being applied on
anywhere near the scale needed, or with the right focus or synergy.
The national response may concentrate solely on sex workers, for
example. Elsewhere, efforts may go into school education for the
young, but ignore the risks and vulnerability of men who have sex
with men. Action may be patchy geographically. AIDS prevention may
not benefit from adequate commitment from all parts and sectors of
society, compromising the sustainability of the response. In some
countries matters are still worse-there is still hardly any action
at all against AIDS and scarcely any effort to make HIV visible. It
is no wonder that the epidemic is still emerging and in some places
is altogether out of control.
