随着互联网和手机覆盖面的扩大，人们越来越多地研究将其用作健康干预和预防工具。为了确定以技术为基础的艾滋病预防和干预研究的最新进展，我们在2007年春季进行了文献检索。在过去的一年里，只有少数文章发表了描述对基于技术的艾滋病毒方案的评估。尽管如此，许多方案最近已经得到资助，正在制定或即将进行评估。迄今为止的结果表明，互联网和手机是可行的技术，为一些目标人群提供艾滋病毒预防和干预计划。未来研究的机会被确定，包括开发的方案，为人口以外的男性与男性发生性关系的人谁也是在艾滋病毒的风险（如，青少年，老年人），从其他领域的进步的整合，检查使用短信的潜力，影响艾滋病毒的行为改变，并在发展中国家应用基于互联网的程序。
As the reach of the Internet and cell phones increases, their use as health intervention and prevention tools has been increasingly researched. To identify recent advances in technology-based HIV prevention and intervention research, we conducted a literature search in the Spring of 2007. Only a handful of articles have been published in the last year describing evaluations of technology-based HIV programs. Nonetheless, many programs have recently been funded and are being developed or imminently evaluated. Results to date suggest the Internet and cell phones are feasible technologies to deliver HIV prevention and intervention programs for some target populations. Opportunities for future research are identified, including the development of programs for populations other than men who have sex with men who also are at risk for HIV (eg, adolescents, elderly), the integration of advances from other fields, examination of the potential for using text messaging to affect HIV behavior change, and applications of Internet-based programs in developing countries.
