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 U.S. select interventions most appropriate for their communities. These are listed in the 2009 Compendium of Evidence-based HIV Prevention Interventions.

NEW! The 2009 Compendium is now available! Six new evidence-based HIV behavioral interventions have just been added to the 2009 Compendium (August 24, 2009). The Compendium now includes individual-, group-, and community-level interventions. Prior to the 2009 review, PRS completed the review of community-level interventions and 5 new evidence-based community-level interventions were previously added to the Compendium.

All of the interventions cataloged on this site are evidence-based behavioral interventions for persons at high risk of acquiring or transmitting HIV. These interventions represent the strongest HIV behavioral interventions in the literature to date that have been rigorously evaluated and have demonstrated efficacy in reducing HIV or STD incidence or HIV-related risk behaviors (e.g., unprotected sex, needle sharing) or promoting safer behaviors (e.g., being abstinent, using condoms).

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