Care and Prevention: Hand in Hand

Focus (11/94) Vol. 9, No. 12, P. 1
Coates, Thomas

A wide range of psychosocial findings was presented at this summer's Tenth International Conference on AIDS. Stefano Bertozzi of the World Health Organization's Global Programme on AIDS, for example, discussed how the burden of caring-- especially in developing countries--falls to households and not to professionals. Psychosocial interventions should concentrate on ways to ease the burden. Presentations at the conference also endorsed the value of school-based prevention programs, but questioned the need and efficacy of interventions for all students. Prevention strategies for women continued to emphasize power dynamics and coercion. Cynthia Gomez reported the incidence of sexual coercion among unmarried Latino women in the United States. More than 70 percent of the women who had sex with men in the prior year reported that their partners insisted on sex when the women were not interested. Topics that were not discussed in public 10 years ago are being talked about more commonly now; these conversations are leading to progress.
