Abstract
Since behavior change remains the only means available for the primary prevention of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), behavioral interventions are critically needed to alter the course of the HIV/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) epidemic. However, researchers face unprecedented challenges in their efforts to develop effective behavior change interventions. One challenge is to address the methodological limitations of previous research. Another challenge is to eliminate the gaps in behavioral intervention research. A final challenge is to understand the implications of previous research for the development of more innovative behavioral interventions. In this chapter, we identify some limitations of, gaps in, and implications of behavioral research interventions to change HIV/AIDS risk behaviors.
