There is an overall deficit in outcome evaluations of interventions aimed at reducing HIV/STI risk behaviour among MSM in Europe. Designing behavioural HIV/STI preventive strategies to avert new infections, and the evaluation of such prevention programmes for MSM is an important component of a comprehensive HIV/STI containment strategy across the continuum of prevention and care.
Despite the maturity of the HIV epidemic, rigorous outcome evaluations of any form of behavioural HIV/STI intervention for MSM in Europe are far and few between. The results point to possible short-term effects of interventions in terms of reductions in the proportion of MSM who engage in UAI, but the paucity of controlled studies indicates the need for research in this area. The scientific community should deliberate the potential for intervention transferability and ideally conduct extensive formative research prior to launching a new programme.
