Goals
for this Topic
The
HIV, STD, and Unintended Pregnancy Prevention
chapter will summarize the published evidence on
effectiveness of populations-based interventions
that have been used to prevent HIV, STD, and
unintended pregnancy.
Recommendations
The
Task Force on Community Preventive Services provides
the following recommendations for interventions to
prevent HIV, STD, and unintended pregnancy.
Each recommendation is based on the strength
of the evidence of effectiveness found during the
systematic reviews.
A determination that evidence is insufficient
should not be confused with evidence of
ineffectiveness.
A recommendation of insufficient evidence may
reveal gaps in the findings where future prevention
research is needed.
Decision makers should consider these
evidence-based recommendations and local needs,
goals, and constraints when choosing appropriate
interventions.
