This case study describes how a small group of concerned doctors and activists in San Francisco took responsibility and what they accomplished. Part 1 explains the emergence and epidemiology of AIDS. Part 2 describes the different aspects of the prevention effort in San Francisco. Part 3 deals with the development, design, and implementation of prevention programs. In clear, nonjargon prose, this thorough, straightforward book serves as an excellent model for individuals designing HIV prevention strategies in their communities.-- James E. Van Buskirk, San Francisco P.L.
