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.
