<p> AIDS is truly a unique epidemic. AIDS, Behavior, and Culture: Understanding Evidence-Based Prevention is a discussion of HIV prevention in today\'s world, hoping to zero in on what works in stopping the spread of the virus. Authors Edward Green and Allison Ruark hold that behavior is the best avenue for controlling the virus, encouraging wise avoidance of promiscuity, wiser choice of sexual partners, and battling the blight of drugs. With criticism of some other approaches and an analysis of the history of prevention, AIDS, Behavior, and Culture is a fascinating read with many thoughtful ideas on how the Western world can best battle this disease. -The Midwest Book Review

AIDS, Behavior, and Culture should be on every Africanist medical anthropology reading list. Edward Green, an anthropologist with long background in field research and an established record of insightful publications on the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Africa, teams up in this book with a rising young epidemiologist to argue convincingly and with fresh research evidence for the importance of behavioral change in coming to grips with the still spreading HIV/AIDS epidemic. - John M. Janzen, University of Kansas Lawrence
