In this review, randomized controlled trials of behavioral
interventions for reducing the risk of HIV in occupational
settings, were systematically identified through electronic
and hand searches, they were then classified and then
assessed for methodological quality.
Data were analyzed using meta-analysis. This study found
that condom use was the most effective intervention for
reducing the risk of HIV infection among workers in
occupational settings. The provision of Information,
Education and Communications (IEC) material, reducing
the number of sex partners, improving care for Sexually
Transmitted Infections (STIs) and HIV, and increasing
knowledge, Attitudes, Practices and Behaviors (KAPBs)
were also effective in reducing the risk of HIV among
workers.
Recommendations coming from this study have immediate
implications for service delivery in occupational settings.
Knowing which behaviour change intervention is most
effective will assist employers in occupational settings in
allocating resources appropriately.
