TL;DR
The enhanced intervention was associated with only a limited reduction in transmission risk at 3 months relative to the standard intervention, and the characteristics of the intervention that may have reduced its efficacy are identified and directions for future research are suggested.

A conceptually based, highly generalizable model for promoting and evaluatingAIDS-risk behavior change in any population of interest is proposed, which holds that AIDS-risk reduction is a function of people's information about AIDS transmission and prevention, their motivation to reduce AIDS risk, and their behavioral skills for performing the specific acts involved in risk reduction.

Why both of the interventions involving peers were less effective than the classroom-based intervention at the 12-month follow-up are discussed and a set of possible limiting conditions for the efficacy of peer-based interventions is suggested.

In the United States, HIV prevention programs have historically tailored activities for specific groups primarily on the basis of behavioral risk factors and demographic characteristics, but through the Serostatus Approach to Fighting the Epidemic (SAFE), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is now expanding prevention programs, especially for individuals with HIV, to reduce the risk of transmission.

These studies demonstrate that interventions can promote risk reduction among men who have sex with men, and given the epidemiology of HIV in the United States, the small number of rigorous controlled intervention trials for this population is striking.
