 AB    The definition of strategies for preventing STD and AIDS requires a
       better knowledge of sexual behavior in the general population and in
       specific subgroups of the population. Surveys have been undertaken in
       different countries to provide such information, and they allow to draw
       some general conclusions. Even if there exist a very important
       variability of sexual behaviors between individuals and within
       individuals in different situations, the primary characteristics of
       sexual behavior in different developed countries appear to be quite
       similar. All prevention efforts need to be directed toward everybody in
       the population, but they must in the same time be made age specific,
       gender specific, and culture specific. The repertoire of available
       methods must be expanded to offer different choices, taking into account
       important psychological and sociologic determinants of sexual behavior.
       The development of methods under women's control would permit to combine
       the goals of contraception and of STD prevention.
