title: [Sexual risk taking].
abstract: Unprotected vaginal and anal sex is the most important risk behavior. Prevention campaigns are more and more concentrated on heterosexuals because 71% of all HIV-infections worldwide are due to heterosexual contacts. The effects of different campaigns are discussed. The positive effect of HIV-test on risk reduction is not clearly demonstrated an negative effects (increased risk) after taking the test give rise to concerns. Risk reduction is the most practicable and realistic prevention strategy.
