Abstract

ABSTRACT This review investigates gender-informed intervention studies conducted in sub-Saharan Africa that measure an outcome related to HIV. The review included 20,340 abstracts published between January 1990 and July 2015, 84 of which met our inclusion criteria for full review, resulting in 17 articles that are the current analysis. The findings demonstrate a wide variation in the types of interventions, from low-intensity educational content to multicomponent interventions. The review groups study outcomes into biological, HIV risk interventions, behavioral, violence, and risk reduction. Most interventions showed positive effects, and although research methodologies varied considerably, longer interventions appeared to be more effective. Cultural and behavioral practices require a multidimensional interventional approach to prevent the spread of HIV in sub-Saharan Africa. Studies of sexual violence, oppressive cultural norms, and cultural acceptance of men having multiple partners may contribute to disproportionate HIV rates in the region.
审查以性别为重点的干预措施的证据,包括男子减少撒哈拉以南非洲艾滋病毒风险和暴力侵害妇女行为的证据
摘要本综述调查了在撒哈拉以南非洲进行的性别知情干预研究,这些研究衡量了与艾滋病毒相关的结果。该综述包括1990年1月至2015年7月期间发表的20340篇摘要,其中84篇符合我们全面综述的纳入标准,导致17篇文章成为当前分析。研究结果表明,从低强度的教育内容到多成分的干预措施,干预措施的类型差异很大。审查小组研究了生物学、HIV风险干预、行为、暴力和降低风险的结果。大多数干预措施都显示出积极的效果,尽管研究方法差异很大,但更长的干预措施似乎更有效。文化和行为实践需要一种多层面的干预方法,以防止艾滋病毒在撒哈拉以南非洲的传播。对性暴力、压迫性文化规范以及对有多个伴侣的男性的文化接受的研究可能会导致该地区不成比例的艾滋病毒感染率。
