 AB    OBJECTIVE: Research efforts sponsored by the National Institute of
       Mental Health to develop effective strategies to prevent or reduce the
       risk of HIV infection and to prevent or treat neuropsychiatric sequelae
       of HIV infection among women will be reviewed. METHODS: Prevention
       strategies, methodological approaches, settings, and specific
       populations will be reviewed across approximately 32 studies. RESULTS:
       Convergent findings will be presented across studies that specify
       effective techniques associated with a reduction in high risk behaviors
       will be discussed. In addition, data on effective behavioral and
       cognitive strategies associated with reduced stress, improved quality of
       life, and disease progression will be presented. DISCUSSION AND
       CONCLUSIONS: NIMH has been the lead in developing behaviorally based
       prevention strategies to reduce the spread of HIV infection in USA. In
       addition to a summary of each research project, this poster will present
       a synthesis of the research findings on women will be presented.
       Methodological issues that emerge from the review will also be
       presented. A handout will be available so that interested persons can
