“干预”是由高危社区成员持续采取的行动进行并维持的预防活动，是艾滋病毒干预活动的适当目标。来自纽约布鲁克林社区 120 名注射吸毒者的数据显示，注射吸毒者中的艾滋病毒感染率有所下降，而且艾滋病毒很少向年轻人传播，这表明他们中的大多数人最近（3 个月）敦促其他人采取一项或多项自我保护行动。这些数据表明，人们普遍认为注射吸毒者只是社会和医疗问题的根源，这种看法是不准确的。需要研究如何创建和扩散“干预社区”，我们建议评估行为干预在创建参与者外向型健康沟通方面的成功或失败，以及它们对个人风险行为的影响。
"Intravention," prevention activities that are conducted by and sustained through ongoing actions of members of communities-at-risk, is an appropriate goal for HIV intervention activities. Data from 120 injection drug users in a Brooklyn, New York, neighborhood that has seen decreases in HIV prevalence among IDUs and little HIV diffusion to young adults indicate that most of them have recently (3 months) urged other people to engage in one or more self-protective actions. These data suggest that the common image of IDUs as simply being sources of social and medical problems is inaccurate. Research is needed into how to create and diffuse "communities of intravention; " and we suggest that behavioral interventions be evaluated for their success or failure at creating outward-focused health communication by participants as well as for their impact on individual risk behaviors.
