I think this broschure could be overhauled and include the most recent MMPs and good practice experiences. Several Studies on MMP have recently come out and also the MMP of BZgA has a new face since the booklet was first written.

This publication describes method and results to date of the "Join-In Circuit on AIDS, Love, and Sexuality", an adaptable HIV prevention tool used in more than 18 countries. Initially developed by the German Federal Centre for Health Education (BZgA), it takes the form of a workshop with five or more stations, at which facilitators help participants to learn critical information about HIV through interactive problem-solving, games and conversation.
By the end of 2007, the Join-In Circuit had been adapted and used in HIV prevention in Bangladesh, Mongolia and Nepal; the Russian Federation and Ukraine; Mozambique, Zambia and Zimbabwe; and Ecuador and El Salvador. Cooperation with ministries of health and education often supported the quick uptake of the Circuit, as officials understood how it could be used to advance toward national prevention goals. The flexibility of the Circuit allowed it to address prevention among many different groups: young people aged 12-14 and up; young adults, including soldiers, prisoners, factory workers, sex workers, stock breeders, teachers and doctors in other countries. Wherever possible, organizers tailored the content and format to reflect the experience of the target group, in the most realistic, sensitive and explicit manner.
