Introduction:
HIV infection is a serious public health concern, especially when it involves incarcerated women. In this scenario, HIV educational interventions are an important strategy to encourage the prevention of this infection.

An integrative literature review was carried out by searching articles in the databases of Scopus, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, MEDical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System, Latin American Literature in Health Sciences and Web, without language or period restrictions. The research question was elaborated from the PICo strategy: population (incarcerated women), interest (HIV/AIDS educational interventions), and context (prevention).
Conclusions:
In the 8 articles analyzed, educational interventions were found to have approaches on topics related to HIV prevention through group sessions, skills training, dramatizations, educational videos, and printed materials.
