Part III
Impediments to
Research and Intervention
In Parts ~ and II of this report, we discussed the two primary modes
of transmission of HIV infection: sexual activity and IV drug use. We
also documented the incomplete state of scientific knowledge about
those behaviors and the behavioral interventions that might retard
HIV's future spread. Understanding the behaviors and intervening
to modify them are necessary to control the spread of HIV infection.
Yet sexual behavior and drug use occur in a social context of strong
and often conflicting beliefs that can create barriers to both under-
standing and intervention. In this part of the volume, we consider
some of those barriers. Chapter 6 describes some of the obstacles
to adequate support of relevant behavioral and social research and
presents recommendations to overcome them. Chapter 7 describes
the barriers to potentially effective interventions to control the AIDS
epidemic. Our purpose is to suggest that the understanding and
prevention of AIDS must ultimately be seen in a broader context of
cultural, political, and social realities.
