| Summary: | Participants from Australia to Zambia
attended the HIV prevention works, an official satellite
symposium of the Eleventh International Conference on AIDS,
held on July 6, 1996 in Vancouver, British Columbia. The
symposium highlighted what works in HIV prevention, why
sound HIV prevention programs and policies are public
investments, and where attention should be directed in the
future. This brief encapsulates the lessons learned and
recommendations, which, a year later, have not lost their
validity or relevance. The symposium was designed to profile
international best practices, including models of successful
HIV/AIDS prevention programs and policies, and to share and
deepen knowledge about those programs and policies.
Presentations were made on preventing HIV infection,
consequences and conditions of risk, working with
individuals and families, working with communities, working
with organizational and societal change, and research for
prevention evaluation. |
