HIV prevention encompasses the strategies and interventions designed to interrupt transmission of the human immunodeficiency virus and reduce new infections at individual and population levels. Because HIV spreads through sexual contact, blood exposure, and from mother to child, prevention is multimodal, combining behavioral approaches such as condom use, risk-reduction counseling, and education; biomedical tools including pre-exposure and post-exposure prophylaxis, treatment as prevention through viral suppression, and testing for early diagnosis; and structural measures that address the social, economic, and cultural determinants of risk. Effectiveness depends heavily on uptake, adherence, and reaching key and vulnerable populations, making recruitment, retention, and implementation central concerns of prevention research. The peer-reviewed research collected here in the journal's HIV and infectious-disease corpus reflects these themes, including psychosocial characterization of clients positioned as change agents for prevention, prevention efforts among in-school adolescents, recruitment and retention in prevention cohort and pilot studies, knowledge and preventive-lifestyle studies among students, pre-exposure prophylaxis adherence among female sex workers and healthcare-worker attitudes toward its availability, barriers to screening and linkage to prophylaxis in primary care, HIV-status disclosure, and the influence of sexual behavior on condom use. Together they situate HIV prevention as a combination enterprise spanning behavior, biomedicine, and health systems.
