Best-Evidence HIV behavioral interventions include interventions that have been rigorously 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
best evidence and are considered to provide the strongest scientific evidence of efficacy.
The PRS efficacy review process has identified
36 best-evidence interventions
(as of May 2008).
