The HIV/AIDS Prevention Research Synthesis (PRS) Project, through its ongoing efficacy review process, identifies evidence-based HIV behavioral interventions to help HIV prevention planners and providers in the United States select interventions most appropriate for their communities. These are listed in the Compendium of Evidence-based HIV Behavioral Interventions.

NEW Chapter! The PRS has just expanded its efficacy review to include a chapter focusing on behavioral interventions for promoting HIV medication adherence among persons living with HIV. As a result, the Medication Adherence Chapter of the Compendium of Evidence-based HIV Behavioral Interventions is now available and includes 8 HIV medication adherence (MA) evidence-based behavioral interventions (EBIs). (Added April 5, 2011) UPDATED Risk Reduction Chapter! The PRS has just updated its efficacy review focusing on behavioral interventions for HIV-related risk reduction (RR). As a result, the updated Risk Reduction Chapter of the Compendium of Evidence-based HIV Behavioral Interventions now includes 74 HIV risk reduction (RR) evidence-based behavioral interventions (EBIs). (August 12, 2011) NEW Labels! The labeling for the two tiers of EBIs identified in the Compendium has just been revised. The first tier is still labeled Best-Evidence for interventions that are scientifically rigorous and provide the strongest evidence of efficacy. The second tier is now labeled Good-Evidence to signify the interventions that provide sufficient evidence of efficacy.

All of the interventions cataloged on this site are evidence-based behavioral interventions. These interventions represent the strongest HIV behavioral interventions in the literature to date that have been rigorously evaluated and have demonstrated efficacy.

We regularly update this website with the most recent evidence-based interventions as they are identified through our on-going efficacy review process.
