Summary:

Preventing AIDS: Community-Science Collaborations highlights important cooperative efforts between the community organizations that do frontline prevention work and the university scientists who evaluate the effectiveness of that work. It examines effective collaborative efforts that have helped prevent the spread of AIDS among high-risk populations, including prostitutes, injection drug users, impoverished pregnant women, migrant workers, transgendered people, and prison inmates. It also provides much-needed strategies for overcoming the barriers that prevent stable funding and hamper both research and prevention efforts. Handy tables and figures make important information easy to access and understand.
