HIV health promotion and men who have sex with men (MSM): A systematic review of research relevant to the development and implementation of effective and appropriate interventions
Abstract
This review evaluated the effectiveness of HIV-related health promotion interventions in men who have sex with men. The authors concluded that cognitive-behavioural-based counselling or workshops can reduce incidences of unprotected anal intercourse with partners of unknown or sero-discordant HIV status. The authors’ conclusions are reliably derived, but the primary recommendation might be overstated given the small number of included studies.
