Positive Prevention
What is Positive Prevention?
Effective prevention ensures that everyone has access to the information, resources, and support needed to protect their health and general well-being. Prevention plays an important role in our health as individuals and as a society. Positive Prevention help people living with HIV/AIDS protect their sexual health, avoid new sexually transmitted infections, delay the progression of HIV/AIDS, and avoid passing their infection on to others. They are intended to reduce the negative/challenging effects of the illness and maximize quality of life.
