Reflections on the 9th International Conference on AIDS Education-- Interventions in Multi-cultural Societies, Israel 25 November-1 December, 1995

Comments on a 1995 conference in Israel addressing acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) interventions in multicultural societies. Although the conference claimed to be multicultural, insufficient attention was paid to people working in situations where race, tribe, religion, & gender were major issues. Also, sufficient dialogue regarding interventions did not take place, & homosexuality & safe sex were barely addressed. Finally, there were simply too many presentations, which limited highly important informal networking. M. Wagner
