Abstract: Safer sex is currently a major strategy for preventing HIV transmission. We examine safer sex interventions using an interactionist form of dramaturgical analysis. This approach yields a dynamic model with which to generate novel safer sex interventions highly sensitive to changing individual, cultural, and social variables. Our goal is to help medical anthropologists, applied social scientists, health educators, community outreach specialists, and those who are sexually active apply safer sex strategies more effectively.
