The Population, Intervention, Context and Outcome (PICO) framework was used to identify relevant studies using key words with Boolean operators in electronic data bases, namely CINHAL, Web of Science, Psych Info and Sabinet. Studies were extracted using a modified data extraction tool, and results were presented narratively.\n\nResults: A total of 19 articles were included in this review. Most articles were primary studies (n = 17), while another involved the review of existing literature and policies (n = 2) and routinely collected data (n = 1). Most studies were conducted in the United States of America (n = 6), while another were conducted in China, Kenya, Botswana, South Africa and Mozambique. All studies revealed findings on tested interventions to achieve HIV epidemic control among key populations.\n\nConclusion: Effective interventions for HIV epidemic control were stand-alone behavioural preventive interventions, stand-alone biomedical preventive strategies and combination prevention approaches. Furthermore, the findings suggest that effective activities to achieve HIV epidemic control among key populations should be centred around prevention.\n\nContribution: The findings of this study have policy and practice implications for high HIV burden settings such as South Africa in terms of interventions to facilitate realisation of the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV\/AIDS (UNAIDS) 95-95-95 targets, thereby contributing to HIV epidemic control.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4102\/phcfm.v16i1.4088","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,6]],"date-time":"2024-01-06T09:23:13Z","timestamp":1704532993000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4102\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Fast-track interventions for HIV and AIDS epidemic control among key populations: A rapid review"],"prefix":"10.4102","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1188-6949","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zamasomi P.B.","family":"Luvuno","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/04qzfn040","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"University of KwaZulu-Natal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0496-5737","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ebenezer","family":"Wiafe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/04qzfn040","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"University of KwaZulu-Natal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3007-1147","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"NomaKhosi","family":"Mpofana","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/0303y7a51","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Durban University of Technology"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6530-7079","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Makgobole M.","family":"Urusla","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/0303y7a51","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Durban University of Technology"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2453-7948","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Celenkosini T.","family":"Nxumalo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/0303y7a51","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Durban University of Technology"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2580","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref0","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Mpondo BC, Gunda DW, Kilonzo SB.
