Summary: -The latest 'buzz word' in HIV prevention -Few resources available on 'positive prevention' -Kalichman is a known and recognized name in the field of HIV preventionSummary: "The CDC has made a revision in their philosophy underlying recommended prevention techniques to stop the spread of HIV/AIDS. The new approach focuses on ""positive prevention"", that is, prevention among people living with HIV/AIDS. This important distinction has resulted in the need to reexamine the behaviors around HIV transmission and the approaches to prevention when working within this diverse population. Positive Prevention is a timely volume containing the latest contributions from the top scholars in the field on preventing the spread of HIV/AIDS. Issues covered include unprotected sex with HIV-positive gay and bisexual men, issues around whether disclosure leads to safer sex, mental health and HIV with young adults, the impact of HIV diagnosis on sexual risk behaviors, interventions in community settings, and more. There is also a important chapter on international perspectives on ""positive prevention"". This volume will serve as an invaluable sourcebook for all professionals working in the field of HIV / AIDS prevention."PPN: PPN: 1647283523Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-1-SMI | ZDB-2-SME
