Much of this conference addresses clinical,immunological,and biomedical aspects of HIV/AIDS.Yet until we are able to influence the human behaviors that facilitate HIV transmission,the epidemic will continue to spread.This presentation reviews the effectiveness of interventions intended to change HIV/AIDS-related behavior in developing countries,such as delaying sexual debut,reducing number of partners,using condoms,and avoiding contaminated needles.It focuses in particular on the role of health communication,which takes multiple forms:television,radio,print materials,Internet,music videos,community mobilization,and street theater,among others.
