By the end of 1999, there were an estimated 34.3 million adults and children living with HIV/AIDS in the world and there had been some 18.8 million deaths. Sub-Saharan Africa remains the centre of the epidemic, with nearly 25 million men, women and children infected with HIV/AIDS. In Asia, an estimated 7 million people are infected, and rates are increasing in countries such as India and China. Parts of Central and Eastern Europe are also witnessing an alarming increase in HIV infection rates (UNAIDS, 2000).Over the last two decades, much has been learned about HIV prevention. Some of this new knowledge comes from carefully conducted evaluation studies, programme reviews, the documentation of existing good practices (UNAIDS, 1999), meta-analyses and reviews (e.g. Gibney, DiClemente & Vermund, 1999), and the observations of field workers, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and health promotion practitioners.
