Promising-Evidence HIV behavioral interventions include interventions that have been sufficiently evaluated and have shown significant effects in eliminating or reducing sex- or drug-related risk behaviors, reducing the rate of new HIV/STD infections, or increasing HIV-protective behaviors. These interventions meet the PRS efficacy criteria for promising evidence and are considered to be scientifically sound and to provide sufficient scientific evidence of efficacy.
