Making Prevention Work Global Lessons Learned from the AIDS Control and Prevention (AIDSCAP) Project 1991-1997
Family Health International's (FHI) most significant and comprehensive publication on HIV/AIDS prevention is now online. This 113-page report documents the experience of the world's largest international HIV/AIDS prevention project, which was implemented by FHI and its partners in 45 countries. It describes lessons learned during AIDSCAP, with examples and project profiles, in 10 technical and programmatic areas: behavior change communication, improving prevention and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases, prevention marketing, policy development, behavioral research, evaluation, gender and HIV/AIDS, management, AIDS care and support, and cross-border interventions.
The effectiveness of HIV prevention strategies under alternative scenarios: Evaluation with the STDSIM model
Carina van Vliet, King K. Holmes, Burton Singer, and J. Dik F. Habbema
In this paper we present a theoretical evaluation of the effectiveness of prevention strategies focused on different population groups. For this evaluation, predictions of the future spread of HIV and of four other classic STDs are made with the STDSIM simulation model for four hypothetical populations with different patterns of sexual behaviour. In our analysis we also address the relationship between the timing of interventions and the effectiveness of different prevention strategies. In our modelling exercise we do not focus on the important issue of the feasibility of identifying core groups, but instead simply assume that it is possible to reach and influence a certain proportion of them as well as of the general population
