HIV Prevention and Bisexual Realities cover

'HIV Prevention and Bisexual Realities is an important contribution to the social science literature on HIV/AIDS, and specifically prevention research. The authors break new ground, both theoretically and empirically, in exposing the silences in community-based HIV prevention. They are to be commended for taking their work one step further in designing prevention materials for the communities in question to respond to the qualitative data derived from their study.' -- Michael Orsini, School of Political Studies, University of Ottawa

Through interviews with a variety of bisexual men and women, HIV Prevention and Bisexual Realities uncovers innovative, important directions to consider for more effective HIV prevention strategies.

Why is there so little HIV education at present directed towards bisexual men and women? This book offers a critical analysis of the issues in public health research and education that prevent adequate attention from being paid to bisexual realities. Addressing the implications of such limited knowledge, the authors raise important questions about the weaknesses of our current response to the HIV/AIDS pandemic.

Through interviews with a variety of bisexual men and women, HIV Prevention and Bisexual Realities uncovers innovative, important directions to consider for more effective HIV prevention strategies. The authors’ epistemological and methodological assessments of the current state of HIV/AIDS education will be indispensable for community health educators, policy makers, and those who study or work in public health.
