Systematic Review of Behavioural Interventions Targeting Men to Prevent Heterosexual Transmission of HIV in Developing Countries
Author(s): Ibrahim Audu Salisu*, Chima E Onuekwe and Collins Owili
Background: People in developing countries and especially sub-Saharan Africa bear a huge brunt of HIV/AIDS pandemic. Transmission in adults is mostly heterosexual with men playing a key role in such dynamics. They do so because of risky sexual practices and behaviours which are shaped by cultural norms. Behavioural interventions are likely to reduce such transmissions. The primary objective of this study is to examine the evidence of the effectiveness of behavioural interventions targeting men to prevent heterosexual transmission of HIV in developing countries. Method: We conducted a systematic review of studies evaluating the effect of behavioural interventions in developing countries published from 1990 to 2011. Five databases were searched; Pub Med, MEDLINE, Cochrane, Trip database, Eldis, Africa Health line, CINAHL and AIDSLINE. Contact .. View more»
