Abstract
Over the last two decades, a great deal has been learned regarding effective interventions for HIV prevention. When the first cases of AIDS were reported in the early 1980s, individuals and groups acted to alert people to this dangerous new disease and the steps that could be taken to protect against it. Even before HIV was isolated, safer sex and safer drug use guidelines had been developed based upon epidemiological evidence concerning patterns of transmission. However, providing people with information about how to protect against infection has proven to be insufficient in and of itself. People require enabling environments that will reduce their susceptibility and vulnerability, and allow them to modify their behaviour based on their knowledge gained through information provision.
