Prevention
Programs that seek to engage people living with HIV/AIDS in the effort to prevent new infections. These include, for example, linkages to and retention in HIV/AIDS care (e.g., to reduce viral load, reinforce prevention messages); behavioral interventions and other risk reduction services; establishing linkages to other medical and social services (e.g., substance abuse, mental health, housing), pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP); and preconception and pregnancy counseling.
