Statements were incorrectly reported. On page 1002, the second sentence of the top paragraph in the first column should read: To develop more effective HIV prevention among African Americans, we must develop a specific understanding of the dynamics of HIV transmission.
On page 1006, the second sentence of the second full paragraph in the third column should read: For example, in some jurisdictions, agencies within or funded by local governments provide harm reduction training to police so that police officers do not harass syringe exchange clients or sex traders. Such harassment greatly hinders HIV-related risk reduction.
