The Institute of Medicine (IOM) , with support from the Office of AIDS Research at the National Institutes of Health, convened a workshop committee to consider the contributions of the social and behavioral sciences to AIDS prevention, assess the current understanding of the epidemic, draw new insights to help guide further research on the complex issues associated with the epidemic, and identify important research questions and relevant methodologies needed for the future.

It is clear that HIV is transmitted from person to person in differing patterns, which depend on the relationships, local environments, ethnic or community values, economics, and other factors that underpin individual behavior. Participants at the workshop emphasized the importance of understanding and considering these factors, based on an expanded research base, in the design, implementation, and much-needed evaluation of HIV preventive interventions.
