 AB    Infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in the
       adolescent/young adult population of the United States is a serious,
       growing problem. The current HIV risk-reduction strategies for
       adolescents have been less than effective in stemming the tide of
       infection. This ineffectiveness can be linked to failure of making
       developmentally appropriate risk-reduction informational material and
       reliance on condom-based interventions, which have an unacceptably high
       failure rate. A critical analysis of current models of HIV-risk
       reduction should be undertaken to create more developmentally
       appropriate and effective methods.
