Sexual behavioural change for HIV : Where have theories taken us?

The primary intention of this review was to look as broadly as possible at all interventions in order to identify what has worked in the enormous variety of situations addressed. However, this would have implied analysing retroactively all prevention programmes to define their theoretical foundations, which was not feasible within the scope, time and resources of this project. This review thus focused primarily on the following types of reports: sexual behavioural change interventions for HIV explicitly mentioning their theoretical approach; studies testing theoretical models of behavioural change; and reviews on impact of behavioural changes interventions
