We evaluated the efficacy of HIV behavioral interventions for African American females in the United States, and we identified factors associated with intervention efficacy. Methods. We conducted a comprehensive literature review covering studies published from January 1988 to June 2007, which yielded 37 relevant studies. Data were analyzed using mixed-effects models and meta-regression. Results. Overall, behavioral interventions had a significant impact on reductions in HIV-risk sex behaviors (odds ratio [OR]=0.63 ; 95% confidence interval [CI]=0.54,0.75 ; n=11239 ; Cochrane Q32=84.73 ; P<. and sexually transmitted infections or="0.81" ci="0.67,0.98" n="8760" cochrane q16="22.77" p="12)." greater intervention efficacy was observed in studies that specifically targeted african american females used gender-or culture-specific materials female deliverers addressed empowerment issues provided skills training condom use negotiation of safer sex role-playing to teach skills. conclusions. behavioral interventions are efficacious at preventing hiv stis among females. more research is needed examine the potential contribution prevention strategies attend community-level structural-level factors affecting infection transmission this population.>
