"HIV Prevention Works", an official satellite of the XI International Conference on AIDS takes a unique approach to prevention by exploring and uniting a broad spectrum of issues including underlying social conditions which make various groups vulnerable to HIV disease. It focuses on behavioral, social and economic change as strategies of prevention through the use of international examples of best practice in prevention. The critical lessons learned from the field provide the substance for the session. The distillation of 24 concurrent presentations, 4 national case studies presented for the first time at the Symposium (Thailand, Australia, Uganda and Canada) and four keynote speeches provide a rich tapestry of achievements to date while identifying emerging issues in the efforts to stop the spread of HIV infection.
