How successful are HIV prevention programmes? Which HIV prevention programmes are most cost effective? Which programmes are worth expanding and which should be abandoned altogether? This book addresses the quantitative evaluation of HIV prevention programmes, assessing for the first time several different quantitative methods of evaluation. The authors of the book include behavioural scientists, biologists, economists, epidemiologists, health service researchers, operations researchers, policy makers, and statisticians. They present a wide variety of perspectives on the subject, including an overview of HIV prevention programmes in developing countries, economic analyses that address questions of cost effectiveness and resource allocation, case studies such as Israel's ban on Ethiopian blood donors, and descriptions of new methodologies and problems.
