dc.description.abstractBackground People with serious mental illness have rates of Human Immuno-deficiency Virus (HIV) infection higher than expected in the general population for the same demographic area.

However, a significant proportion in this group are sexually active and engage in HIV-risk behaviours including having multiple sexual partners, infrequent use of condoms and trading sex for money or drugs. Therefore we propose the provision of HIV prevention advice could enhance the physical and social well being of this population.

Data collection and analysis Review authors (NW, AC, AA, GT) independently screened search results and did not identify any studies that fulfilled the review’s criteria.
