Editorial

In this (Prevention Update) issue of AHRF NEWS we throw a spotlight on the recent activities of National African HIV Prevention Programme (NAHIP), a novel partnership programme which has been using a range of innovative approaches to delivering prevention interventions to African communities in the UK. Continuing with the prevention theme we look at the current state of microbicide development in the New Prevention Technology section. Relevant books, papers and reports published in the first half of 2005 are featured here. For details of how to contact the AHRF, or submit a paper to the newsletter or website click here. We welcome all comments and suggestions.
