HIV/AIDS prevention initiatives

HIV/AIDS prevention efforts focus on reducing the risk of transmission through education, testing, and promoting safe practices. Key strategies include using condoms consistently and correctly, regular testing for early detection, and avoiding sharing needles. Education campaigns raise awareness about how HIV spreads and the importance of treatment, as antiretroviral therapy can suppress the virus. Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is available for high-risk individuals to prevent infection. Overall, these initiatives aim to inform, empower, and support people to prevent HIV infection and reduce stigma associated with the virus.
