Article Synopsis
- This meta-analysis examines the effectiveness of HIV prevention programs aimed at decreasing sexual risk behaviors and STIs in heterosexual African American men, based on studies from 1988-2008.
- The study found that these interventions significantly lowered both risky sexual behaviors and STIs, particularly among targeted groups like African American men and those with a history of incarceration.
- Key factors linked to successful interventions included access to medical services, involvement of male facilitators, shorter follow-up times, and addressing the health of family or partners, with medical service provision being the most impactful element.
Objectives: We evaluated the efficacy of HIV behavioral interventions for African American females in the United States, and we identified factors associated with intervention efficacy.
Methods: We conducted a comprehensive literature review covering studies published from January 1988 to June 2007, which yielded 37 relevant studies. Data were analyzed using mixed-effects models and meta-regression.
