This article describes a project based on feminist theory and pedagogical techniques that used students as peer facilitators. The program was designed to maintain and enhance health-promoting sexual behaviors among female college students in response to the premise that women's gender socialization limits their ability to translate knowledge about HIV transmission and prevention into risk-reducing behavior. The project used workshops and small support groups to focus student attention on sexuality, gender socialization, values clarification, assertiveness training, and intimate negotiation.
