"There is broad consensus within the HIV/AIDS prevention community that new models are needed to address the challenges faced by prevention work at this stage in the epidemic." The papers that are presented in this book are the result of presentations in 1996 at symposia sponsored by the Deutsche AIDS-Hilfe (DAH) which is the national German AIDS organization.

The papers that were chosen are: "The Chorin Document: A Joint Statement of Recommendations for HIV Prevention Targeting Men Who Have Sex with Men," "Beyond Risk Factors: Trends in European Safer Sex Research," "Not All Men, Situations, and Actions are Equal: Moving from 100% Protection to a More Realistic Prevention Practice," "The Importance of Contextualizing Research: An Analysis of Data from the German Gay Press Surveys," "Gay Men and HIV: Community Responses and Personal Risks," "In This Together: The Limits of Prevention Based on Self-Interest and the Role of Altruism in HIV Safety," "Anal Sex and Gay Men: The Challenge of HIV and Beyond," "Imaginary Protections Against AIDS," "Desire, Cultural Dissonance, and Incentives for Remaining HIV-Negative," "Context Is Everything: Thoughts on Effective HIV Prevention and Gay Men in the United States," "The Impact of New Advances in Treatment on HIV Prevention: Implications of the XI International AIDS Conference on Future Prevention Directions," and "The Impact of New Treatments and Other Trends on HIV Prevention for Gay and Bisexual Men in the United States: Observations from the 19th National Lesbian and Gay Health Association Conference."

These are well-written papers that present important research in HIV prevention for gay and bisexual men. It is recommended for all medical and academic libraries.
