- Bettina Chua, anchor, CNBC
Speakers:
"CNN = Condoms, Needles and Negotiating skills"
"ABC = Abstinence, Be Faithful, Condoms"
Steven Sinding and Edward Green chaired a session discussing two HIV/AIDS prevention models known as "CNN" -- which promotes condoms, clean needles and negotiating skills -- and "ABC" -- which promotes abstinence, being faithful and using condoms. Two youth speakers also presented. Although the session was meant to be a debate, the participants agreed that all of the prevention methods could be appropriate depending upon the population being targeted. However, the participants disagreed on how much emphasis should be placed on each prevention method. Following their presentations, panel members answered questions from the audience.
