Summary
Youth, AIDS and Sexually Transmitted Diseases presents a comprehensive analysis of the impact of these diseases on young people. It examines how their sexual behaviour has changed as a result of the threat of AIDS, and how useful models are for predicting those at risk. Drawing on insights from their own research in the field, the authors also use the voices of young people to illustrate their concerns, knowledge and attitudes about sexual health
