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.
随着互联网和手机的普及，它们作为健康干预和预防工具的应用越来越受到研究。为了确定基于技术的艾滋病毒预防和干预研究的最新进展，我们于2007年春季进行了文献检索。去年仅有少数几篇文章发表，描述了对基于技术的艾滋病毒项目的评估。尽管如此，最近许多项目已获得资助，正在开发或即将进行评估。迄今为止的结果表明，互联网和手机是为某些目标人群提供艾滋病毒预防和干预项目的可行技术。文中还确定了未来研究的机会，包括为除感染艾滋病毒风险较高的男男性行为者之外的其他人群（如青少年、老年人）开发项目，整合其他领域的进展，研究使用短信影响艾滋病毒行为改变的潜力，以及在发展中国家应用基于互联网的项目。
