Provided below are links to sites that offer information about promising prevention strategies. This information is not an endorsement of any specific program or intervention listed. Rather, these links are meant to provide additional resources for prevention with positives program development.
CDC: Compendium of HIV Prevention Interventions with Evidence of Effectiveness
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) developed this Compendium of HIV Prevention Interventions with Evidence of Effectiveness to respond to prevention service providers, planners, and others who request science-based interventions that work to prevent HIV transmission. All interventions selected for this compendium came from behavioral or social studies that had both intervention and control/comparison groups and positive results for behavioral or health outcomes.

Diffusion of Effective Behavioral Interventions (DEBI)
The Diffusion of Effective Behavioral Interventions (DEBI) project was
designed to bring science-based, community-and group-level HIV prevention
interventions to community-based service providers and state and local
health departments. The goal is to enhance the capacity to implement
effective interventions at the state and local levels, to reduce the
spread of HIV and STDs, and to promote healthy behaviors. The DEBI
Project offers training and helps to coordinate technical assistance
on twelve science-based, effective interventions for HIV prevention.
