Sexuality and AIDS: Comments from an international perspective. Six youths from Bangkok, Rio de Janeiro, Stockholm, New York, Nairobi, and Montréal talk about how they deal with these concerns. The attitudes are diverse, but all reflect a concern for better awareness and responsibility about sex. From the 18-year-old who maintains his Buddhist beliefs in Bangkok, a city with a thriving sex business, to the 19-year-old Montréal woman who is now HIV positive after her first sexual encounter, their personal experiences are direct, compelling and timely.
