 AB    Curtailing the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) epidemic requires the
       development of effective strategies for helping people reduce high-risk
       sexual behavior patterns. Because the objective of HIV prevention
       involves changing how people behave sexually, research findings in human
       sexuality are extremely pertinent to efforts to promote AIDS risk
       reduction. Unfortunately, most public health HIV prevention programs
       rarely reflect findings of human sexuality research. In this article,
       research is reviewed in the areas of the relationship contexts of
       sexuality, including variations in monogamy, condom use in affectionate
       versus casual relationships, sexual communication, and coercion; the
       modification of sexual behavior repertoires; substance use in relation
       to sexual intercourse; and sexual schema and scripts relevant to HIV
       risk. Policy and training issues related to human sexuality may have
       hindered efforts to incorporate sexuality research findings in HIV
       prevention programs. Advances and refinements in the success of HIV
       prevention efforts are likely if research on human sexuality is better
       integrated in AIDS prevention programs.
