Biomedical Advances in HIV Prevention Social and Behavioral Perspectives

From the reviews:

“A well-qualified international panel of authors provides an update on the latest effective biomedical technologies as well as a unique focus on the psychosocial factors that undermine implementation of the biomedical advances in HIV prevention. … Students, academics, clinicians, and policymakers all will find something of relevance in this book. … Detailed tables and figures in most chapters help summarize a wealth of information. The references are extensive and up to date.” (Thomas P. Guck, Doody’s Book Reviews, March, 2014)
