Review
"Green's Rethinking AIDS throws out the bath water but rescues the baby. He refuses to reject recommendations of abstinence and fidelity from religious conservatives simply because they come from this source. The world has been slow to catch on that the successful Uganda AIDS story is about abstinence, fidelity and for others, reducing dramatically their number of sexual partners. These are powerful epidemiologic strategies and once again, Green is a pioneer in bringing the story to a wide audience."-Elaine M. Murphy, Ph.D. Professor of Global Health George Washington University School of Public Health
Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
Reviewer: Maureen Sciortino; This book challenges the simple formula of "unprotected sex = HIV infection, so use a condom." The author provides evidence from Africa, the Caribbean and Asia to show that reduction in casual sex, not condoms, is the major factor which explains HIV prevalence reduction.
