Overview

HIV prevention strategies are the range of biomedical, behavioral, and structural approaches used to reduce the transmission of human immunodeficiency virus and lower the incidence of new infections. Biomedical measures include HIV testing and counseling, antiretroviral therapy that suppresses viral load in people living with HIV, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for those at risk, and harm-reduction tools such as condoms and sterile injecting equipment. Behavioral approaches focus on education, risk reduction, and the promotion of safer practices, while structural strategies address the social, economic, and health-system factors that shape vulnerability and access to care. Effective prevention generally combines several of these elements and tailors them to specific populations and settings. Research published in this journal reflects this multi-level perspective, with studies on HIV prevention among in-school adolescents, knowledge and attitudes toward premarital counseling and testing, and the awareness and practice of preventive behaviors among students and young people. Other contributions examine healthcare-worker knowledge and the availability of pre-exposure prophylaxis, barriers to PrEP screening and linkage in primary care, recruitment and retention in prevention research, status disclosure, and community-based approaches such as sport-centered programs. Across these themes, the field emphasizes testing, education, access to preventive treatment, and the behavioral and systemic determinants of HIV risk, particularly in resource-limited and high-burden communities.
