[Yes to sex education, but comprehensive, please. The health fair medium in health promotion, 6 years experiences exemplified by AIDS education].

The basic conditions for HIV/AIDS prevention have been changing during the last years. The interdisciplinary approach must be emphasised very clearly nowadays. Models of cooperation within the community must be enhanced. AIDS counselling in Bremen underwent various stages: from a critical analysis of the risk factor theory to the life-style concept and to a call for community action. The paper points out how the 6 years of experience with a special AIDS exhibition can be utilised for health education in other fields.
