"""For this volume, Elwood gathered together an impressive array of scholars to address the intersection of AIDS, politics, and communication....The book's thesis is clearly illustrated....This volume does an admirable job of making important points....I hope that this book marks the first step in increasing connections between public health and communications researchers."" —Journal of Sex Research ""This book is a must-have for anyone interested in, or doing research into, the psychosocial aspects of HIV/AIDS. It is thoughtfully conceived, well written and multi-disciplinary to an unprecedented degree."" —Donna Rochon Editor, Research Initiative/Treatment Action ""This is a highly approachable book that should be read by anybody interested in the 'state-of-the-art' of sexual behavior and HIV prevention research. Community based organizations (CBOs) can benefit from the practical evaluation frameworks included in many of the chapters addressing HIV prevention efforts; behavioral researchers will benefit from the focus on the interactions between the contexts in which sexual behavior takes place and their outcomes; sex therapists will learn a lot about the didactics of sex and drugs in today's world; and 'at-risk' persons will be able to learn how the challenges of remaining safe relate to the larger contexts of their sexual and drug use networks and the communities in which they live. This comprehensive set of thought provoking papers lays down new paths for breaking through the long-standing barriers that inhibited sexual behavior research and program evaluation."" —David G. Ostrow, MD, PhD HBHC AIM Project"
