HIV prevention encompasses the strategies, behaviors, and biomedical tools used to reduce the transmission of the human immunodeficiency virus and to lower the risk of new infections. It combines behavioral approaches, such as condom use, reducing the number of sexual partners, and avoiding shared injecting equipment, with biomedical interventions including HIV testing, pre-exposure prophylaxis, post-exposure prophylaxis, treatment as prevention, and the prevention of mother-to-child transmission. Effective prevention also depends on education, addressing stigma, and tackling the social and structural factors that shape risk. As the focus of this HIV/AIDS and prevention journal, the topic is supported by substantial peer-reviewed research, including studies on engaging people living with HIV as change agents for prevention in Uganda, HIV prevention among in-school adolescents in rural Nigeria, recruitment and retention in prevention cohort studies in Kenya and Texas, knowledge and practice of preventive lifestyles among students, healthcare-worker awareness of pre-exposure prophylaxis, predictors of adherence to pre-exposure prophylaxis among female sex workers, status disclosure, and prevalence of infection among pregnant women. These contributions span behavioral, programmatic, and clinical dimensions of prevention. This page gathers open-access, peer-reviewed research relevant to HIV prevention across diverse populations and settings.
