Abstract

Purposeof review: Young people face the highest number of new HIV infections globally. With today's increasing access to smartphones, serious games have been viewed as an effective means of improving knowledge and behavioral outcomes. This systematic review describes current HIV prevention serious games and their relationship with HIV-related knowledge and behavioral outcomes.

Recent findings: A search of HIV prevention serious games was conducted using PubMed, CINAL, IEEE, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. A total of 31 papers were identified, which consist of 20 studies and 11 protocols. Results for knowledge, attitudes, intentions, and behaviors were mixed. Two interventions reported improvement in PrEP usage and optimal dosing. Gaming appears to be a viable and engaging method to improve knowledge, attitudes, and behavioral outcomes to promote HIV prevention among diverse groups of adolescents and young adults globally. However, additional research is needed to understand how to implement this modality effectively.

将严肃游戏作为艾滋病预防干预措施的综述。

审查目的：在全球范围内，年轻人是新感染艾滋病毒人数最多的群体。随着智能手机的普及，严肃游戏被视为提高知识和行为结果的有效手段。本系统综述介绍了当前的艾滋病预防严肃游戏及其与艾滋病相关知识和行为结果之间的关系：我们使用 PubMed、CINAL、IEEE、Web of Science 和 Google Scholar 对艾滋病预防严肃游戏进行了检索。共发现了 31 篇论文，其中包括 20 项研究和 11 项协议。关于知识、态度、意向和行为的研究结果不一。有两项干预报告称，PrEP 的使用率和最佳剂量有所提高。游戏似乎是一种可行的、吸引人的方法，可以改善知识、态度和行为结果，从而促进全球不同青少年群体的艾滋病预防工作。然而，还需要开展更多的研究来了解如何有效地实施这种方式。

期刊介绍： This journal intends to provide clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts that review the most important, recently published clinical findings related to the diagnosis, treatment, management, and prevention of HIV/AIDS. We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as antiretroviral therapies, behavioral aspects of management, and metabolic complications and comorbidity. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided.
