Objectives:To conduct a meta-analysis of computer technology-based HIV prevention behavioral interventions aimed at increasing condom use among a variety of at-risk populations. Design:Systematic review and meta-analysis of existing published and unpublished studies testing computer-based interventions. Methods:Meta-analytic techniques were used to compute and aggregate effect sizes for 12 randomized controlled trials that met inclusion criteria. Variables that had the potential to moderate…

Can Computer-Mediated Interventions Change Theoretical Mediators of Safer Sex? A Meta-Analysis
The purpose of this study was to conduct a meta-analysis of computer-mediated interventions (CMIs) aimed at changing theoretical mediators of safer sex. Meta-analytic aggregation of effect sizes from…
A Randomized Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy of a Web-Based HIV Behavioral Intervention for High-Risk African American Women
TLDR
Across the entire study period, women in the experimental condition significantly increased their condom use relative to controls, indicating that this web-based program could be an important component in reducing the HIV disparities among African American women.
Efficacy of text messaging-based interventions for health promotion: a meta-analysis.
Preliminary efficacy of a computer-based HIV intervention for African-American women
TLDR
This relatively brief intervention provides preliminary support that an evidence-based group-based HIV prevention intervention for young African-American women can be adapted to a computer- based HIV intervention.
Computer-based interventions for sexual health promotion: systematic review and meta-analyses
TLDR
ICBIs are effective tools for learning about sexual health, and show promising effects on self-efficacy, intention and sexual behaviour, and more data are needed to analyse biological outcomes and cost-effectiveness.
A synthesis of meta-analytic evidence of behavioral interventions to reduce HIV/STIs
TLDR
The success of HIV/STI prevention interventions may be enhanced not only by providing skills training and information designed to change attitudes, but also by ensuring that the content is tailored to the target group and delivered by individuals of the same gender and ethnicity as the recipients.

TLDR
Preliminary support for the efficacy of a computer-delivered adaptation of a proven HIV prevention program for African American teenage women is provided, consistent with meta-analyses that have shown that computer-Delivered interventions, which can often be disseminated at lower per-capita cost than human-del delivered interventions, can influence HIV risk behaviors in positive fashion.
Effectiveness Of Digital Media Technologybased Interventions On HIV & STI Risk Reduction Among Young People: A Metaanalysis
TLDR
DMT-based interventions on condom use and frequency of sexual behavior were noted to be effective in reducing risk-taking behaviors among young people and can be appropriately adapted for use in HIV/STI prevention campaigns.
Technology-Based Interventions to Reduce Sexually Transmitted Infections and Unintended Pregnancy Among Youth.
Interactive digital interventions for prevention of sexually transmitted HIV
TLDR
There is good evidence that IDIs have positive effects on knowledge, intention and HIV prevention behaviours and IDIs are appropriate for HIV prevention in a variety of settings.

TLDR
Summaries of moderator analyses suggested particular participant, intervention, and methodological characteristics that may influence the success of interventions that targeted HIV-related sexual risk behavior in a defined target population.
Sexual Risk Reduction for Persons Living With HIV: Research Synthesis of Randomized Controlled Trials, 1993 to 2004
TLDR
Behavioral interventions reduced sexual risk especially if they included motivational and skills components and such interventions have been less effective for older samples, suggesting the need for further refinement to enhance their efficacy.

TLDR
Interventions targeting PWLH are efficacious in reducing unprotected sex and acquisition of sexually transmitted diseases and should be incorporated into community HIV prevention efforts and further evaluated for effectiveness.

TLDR
Most of the best-evidence interventions are directly applicable for populations in greatest need of effective prevention programs; however, important gaps still exist.
