Protection Against HIV (PAH)

Protection Against HIV (PAH) refers to various strategies and practices aimed at preventing the transmission of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), which can lead to Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). Key methods include using condoms during sexual activity, taking pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), and ensuring regular HIV testing and treatment for those living with the virus. Additionally, using sterile needles and practicing safe sex can significantly reduce the risk of infection. Education and awareness about HIV transmission are vital components of effective PAH, helping individuals make informed choices to protect their health and the health of their partners.
