title: Designing effective AIDS prevention workshops for gay and bisexual men.
abstract: The authors have developed three AIDS prevention workshops and conducted them for thousands of gay and bisexual men. The workshops' evolution, design, and development, as well as their implicit assumptions and values, are presented. The concept of different generations of AIDS prevention efforts is introduced. The goals of each generation are distinguished and discussed. One of the authors' major premises is that for AIDS prevention to be effective with these populations, it must promote and strengthen self-esteem through a positive gay or bisexual self-image.
