Only non-profit organizations, government agencies, educational institutions, and health departments are given full access to NAC ONLINE and the NAC databases.

Position statements of the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States (SIECUS), summarized in the first fe pages, state that individuals should base their sexual relationships on shared personal values and that these relationships be consensual, nonexploitive, honest, mutually pleasurable, and protected against unplanned pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. Each of the articles in this report address one aspect of sexual consent, including teaching high school students about sexual assault, defining coercion and consent cross-culturally, and training teachers to instruct students about HIV/AIDS prevention and sexuality.

AB This report contains a compilation and summary of data presented at various forums convened to address the efficacy of protease inhibitors. Clinical data presented by manufacturers of protease inhibitors are outlined. To date, most of the clinical experience with protease inhibitors is based on changes in surrogate markers. The first presenter reviews the collective role of protease inhibitors in the management of HIV disease in 1996 and the viral reproduction process. This is followed by a examination of saquinavir, indinavir, ritonavir, nelfinavir, and Glaxo Wellcome's 141W94. The next section of the report is an overview of papers on data from protease inhibitor and viral load studies presented at the Third Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections in January and February, 1996.
