Just published: Annual Evidence Update on HIV/AIDS behaviour change in high-risk populations

The NHS Evidence Specialist Collection for Public Health has just published the second Annual Evidence Update on HIV/AIDS behaviour change in high-risk populations, giving information on a number of related guidance and 32 systematic and literature reviews on the topic.

Annual Evidence Updates aim to bring together all high quality evidence on a specific subject published over the previous 12 months.

The NHS Evidence Specialist Collections act as a portal of high quality evidence on a variety of clinical specialties and interest areas. Each Specialist Collection is compiled by an editorial team made up of clinicians and representatives of other interested parties. They are continually updated to provide a comprehensive listing of evidence-based sources of information of interest to health professionals working within the NHS.
