OBJECTIVE: To use the power of modern Personal Computers to display graphically the connection between behavior and risk for HIV infection.

METHODS: A stochastical simulation model takes into account behavior parameters in a hypothetical risk environment. The correlation between behavior patterns and risk for HIV infection is displayed by means of powerful graphics.

RESULTS: We describe the application of our stochastic simulation model to train medical personnel and school teachers in Norway and West Germany.
