"Across the world, people working on HIV/AIDS now recognise the importance of developing their work with men in order to have a real impact on the epidemic. There is a growing interest in identifying strategies that will be effective in reaching out to different groups of men and enabling them to change their attitudes and behaviour. The International HIV/AIDS Alliance (the Alliance) shares this interest. (...)
The Alliance has produced this case study collection in order to help projects to conduct this work with men on HIV/AIDS. It presents experiences and lessons from a range of different projects (some supported by the Alliance and some not) that are working with men. By showcasing experiences and lessons from the field in the form of case studies, this collection offers inspiration, ideas and models for working with different kinds of men in a range of contexts."

"UNIFEM, with support from UNAIDS, has released a Gender and HIV/AIDS Electronic Library on CD-ROM that compiles resources from the UNIFEM Web Portal. It includes research and studies, training resources and tools, and multimedia advocacy materials on the gender dimensions of the HIV/AIDS epidemic produced by a variety of organizations. The Gender and HIV/AIDS Electronic Library is fully searchable by keyword and includes an easy-to-use tool called "e-Course Builder," which supports the creation of a tailored training course using the resources on the CD-ROM. The Library will be a useful resource for academics, policymakers, practitioners, journalists, students and others interested in the gender dimensions of the epidemic."
