Abstract
This chapter discussed the rationale for positive prevention and define its parameters, namely what positive prevention is and what it is not. We also discuss the principles derived from the evidence-based literature that can be used to guide the adaptation of effective positive prevention interventions. Looking ahead to future positive prevention efforts in South Africa, we highlight why positive prevention has the potential to make a substantial impact on the course of South Africa's HIV epidemic and we caution why positive prevention could fail in South Africa.-
