This paper reviews past and current Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) education and prevention efforts, describes three specific phases of efforts, and analyzes AIDS education and prevention in relation to emancipatory models of education. First the paper reviews data measuring the transmission of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) among gay and bisexual men in the United States and critiques studies that found that gay men in epicenter cities had halted the spread of HIV. More recent data are presented showing increased unprotected sex among gay men and analyzing public response. Next the paper sketches HIV prevention programs that target gay and bisexual men: early pioneering work initiated by grassroots activities, first generation education programs launched in most cities from 1985 to 1990, and post-1990 responses to the dawning recognition of escalating incidence of unprotected sex. Finally, the paper raises questions about the "ownership" of HIV education and prevention programs by public health and social marketing professionals and criticizes the limited involvement by individuals in the education field. Following "gay liberation and queer theory" that have conceptualized gay men as a colonized population, the paper argues for emancipatory education based on the theories of Paulo Freire. Such education might offer important new possibilities for HIV prevention rooted in resistance, knowledge, and empowerment. (Contains 57 references.) (JB)
