Biomedical Advances in HIV Prevention: Social and Behavioral
Perspectives
Lisa A. Eaton and Seth C. Kalichman, editors
Three decades into the epidemic, a great deal is known about HIV
and its transmission, more people are living with the disease, and
the virus is no longer seen as a death sentence. But new people
continue to be infected with HIV each year, making prevention
strategies that are medically effective and behaviorally engaging
as urgent a priority as ever.
"Biomedical Advances in HIV Prevention: Social and Behavioral
Perspectives" assembles the latest improvements, barriers to
implementation, and possibilities for--and challenges" "to--future
progress. Innovations such as pre-exposure prophylaxis
(antiretroviral regimens for the high-risk uninfected) and
treatment as prevention (early use of ART to reduce infectiousness
of new patients) are examined, as are current findings on ongoing
prevention and treatment concerns.
Contributors illuminate the complex realities entailing
adherence, pointing out technological, behavioral, and cultural
roadblocks as well as opportunities to significantly reduce
infection rates. Detailed up-to-the-minute coverage includes:
Prevention services for persons living with HIVAdherence to HIV

rectal microbicides and safe lubricantsMental health and substance
use in the scale-up of HIV preventionRisk compensation in response

reports from South Africa, Uganda, Australia, Thailand, United
States, Ecuador, and Peru
Researchers, practitioners, and policy makers working in the
fields of HIV/AIDS and public health will look toward "Biomedical"
"Advances" "in" "HIV" "Prevention: Social and Behavioral
Perspectives" as both a means for developing and assessing current
programs and a blueprint for the next generation of prevention
efforts.
