• Three studies qualified for the review and reported on three interventions.
• Unprotected anal intercourse (UAI): 35% reduction in odds at follow-up intervals ranging from 4 months (two studies) to 1 year (one study)
• Condom use during anal intercourse: 59% increase in odds (two studies)
• A systematic economic evaluation of 3 community-level interventions found that potential savings in HIV-related medical costs exceeded the costs of implementing the intervention.
These results were based on a systematic review of all available studies, conducted on behalf of the Task Force by a team of specialists in systematic review methods, and in research, practice and policy related to the prevention of HIV and AIDs.
