HIV prevention methods include:

1. Safe Sex: Use condoms during sexual activity to reduce the risk of transmission.

2. PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis): Taking a daily medication (e.g., Truvada) can lower the risk of
contracting HIV, especially for high-risk individuals.

3. PEP (Post-Exposure Prophylaxis): If exposed to HIV, a short-term treatment with antiretroviral drugs
can prevent infection if started within 72 hours.

4. HIV Testing: Regular testing to know your status and seek treatment if positive.

5. Needle Exchange Programs: Reducing the sharing of needles among intravenous drug users.

6. Treatment as Prevention (U=U): Effective HIV treatment can make the virus undetectable and
untransmittable.

7. Circumcision: Male circumcision can reduce the risk of HIV transmission.

8. Sexual Health Education: Promoting awareness and safer sex practices.

9. Safer Injection Practices: For individuals using needles for medical reasons.

10. Supportive Communities: Reducing stigma and discrimination, which can help people access
prevention and treatment.
