Overview

The way in which the Netherlands has responded to AIDS is arguably regarded as well organized and effective. This is possibly due to the timely and effective response to the threat of the disease, with a prevention programme starting in 1982. This book uses the Dutch example to provide an instructive case study for other countries with relevance for policy makers now and in the future. It documents and discusses the Dutch prevention policy, most specifically the prevention policies and activities for various target groups. It examines prevention research and studies on sexuality and health behaviour with the emphasis on individual responsibility.

Reviews

This book gives a detailed account of the societal response to HIV in the Netherlands from the early 1980's until the mid-1990's. It is refreshing to read about a country whose central government responded to the perceived threat of AIDS with compassion and reasoned social policy rather than indifference. - Disability Studies Quarterly
