Summary: "Research efforts have produced an unprecedented accumulation of in-depth, context-specific knowledge related to the prevention needs of various populations vulnerable to HIV infection resulting in improved awareness and understanding. Despite this pool of knowledge there has been a lack of attention to integrating findings into a cohesive synthesis. ... [T]he research team embarked on a review of qualitative literature to examine HIV prevention efforts aimed at women in Canada. The inclusion criteria and scoping parameters were as follows: studies from qualitative peer-reviewed academic literature, HIV prevention focused, covering the years 1996-2008 focused on women (either HIV positive or negative), and those which focused on any race/ethnicity or nationality living in Canada"--P. 5.
