Abstract
In February 1997, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) convened a consensus development conference on interventions to prevent HIV infection. At this conference, a panel composed of AIDS activists and esteemed scientists, who work in areas other than HIV prevention, reviewed the evidence on the effectiveness of HIV prevention interventions. The panel identified several types of HIV prevention interventions that have been rigorously assessed and found effective at reducing HIV-related risk behaviors.1
