• Description:
  Initiated in 1996, the CDC's HIV Prevention Research Synthesis (PRS) Project systematically reviews and summarizes the cumulative body of HIV-prevention literature to identify Evidence-Based Interventions (EBIs), best practices and public health strategies for reducing HIV transmission and infection. Each eligible study is evaluated against a priori criteria to assess the risk of bias and strength of findings. The first PRS efficacy review was for Risk Reduction (CDC 1999) and was based on the original criteria used for the Compendium of HIV Prevention Interventions with Evidence of Effectiveness.
  
  The Compendium of Evidence-Based Interventions and Best Practices for HIV Prevention is a collection of HIV interventions in the form of individual study information summary PDFs. Starting in January of 2024, PDFs were phased out as a mechanism of CDC's Clean Slate website initiative. All interventions are now listed in the Compendium Search (PDFs are linked if available).
  
  The Compendium includes five chapters [year established]:  Risk Reduction (RR) [1996]  Medication Adherence (MA) [2010]  Linkage to, Retention in, and Re-engagement in HIV Care (LRC) [2013]  Structural Interventions (SI) [2017]  Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) [2020].
  
  Each intervention study is evaluated according to specific chapter criteria and assigned a level of evidence. The evaluation is then translated into an intervention summary that is categorized as an Evidence-Based Intervention (EBI) or Evidence-Informed Intervention (EI). EBIs provide the strongest evidence of efficacy. EIs have some evidence of working and ideally, need further testing with a comparison group or with larger samples.
