Lis Maurer, coordinator of the Center for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Education, Outreach, Services, coauthored a recently published article.

The article, "Human Immunodeficiency Virus and Prevention" is an entry in the new three volume encyclopedia Africa and the Americas - Culture, Politics and History - A Multidisciplinary Encyclopedia. The article examines parallels as well as differences in HIV prevention efforts in Africa and in the United States, as a consequence of culture, politics, and economics. It also examines the impact of U.S. policies and practices regarding sexual/reproductive health that have had widespread effects on the messages, programs, services, and educational efforts toward the prevention of HIV in Africa.
