HIV Prevention Programs

HIV prevention programs are initiatives designed to reduce the spread of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), which can lead to Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). These programs often include education about safe practices, such as using condoms, and promoting regular testing for HIV. They may also provide access to pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), a medication that significantly lowers the risk of getting HIV. Additionally, these programs focus on reducing stigma, supporting individuals living with HIV, and ensuring that people at risk have the resources they need to protect themselves effectively.
