HIV prevention strategies for developing countries and high-risk groups in industrialized countries have been widely discussed. Except for female-controlled methods, which are still being evaluated, appropriate strategies have been agreed upon and are currently been implemented. For heterosexuals in industrialised countries, however, it is not yet known which prevention strategies would be sufficient to keep the number of new infections at a low level. In spite of massive campaigns, condom use is low and alternative strategies needed.

The following list of papers addresses the problem of accessing the risk of heterosexuals becoming infected and the efficacy of different prevention strategies.
