Top Measures to Prevent HIV AIDS

 HIV prevention entails more than simply following the rules. It is important to understand the risks and how HIV is transmitted and not transmitted for the prevention of HIV AIDS. It's about going the extra mile to learn about both new and traditional HIV prevention methods. 

Eventually, everyone is unique. Some people are more prone to infection than others. They may have specific goals, such as starting a family or becoming pregnant, which necessitate special considerations and involve different risks. To protect yourself, you must examine your personal risk factors and devise an individual prevention strategy to reduce the risks.

Top Tips for Prevention of HIV AIDS

Test yourself for HIV. Discuss HIV testing with your partner and get tested before having sex. To find an HIV testing location near you, use the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) GetTested locator.

Select less dangerous sexual behaviors. HIV is primarily transmitted through anal or vaginal sex without the use of a condom or the use of HIV prevention or treatment medications.

Limit the number of sexual partners you have. The more partners you have, the more likely it is that you will have a partner with poorly controlled HIV or a sexually transmitted disease (STD). Both of these factors can raise the risk of contracting HIV.

Get checked for and treated for STDs. Demand that your partners be tested and treated as well. Having an STD increases your chances of contracting HIV or spreading it to others.

Consult with your doctor about pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). PrEP is an HIV prevention treatment option for people who do not have HIV but are at risk of contracting it. PrEP entails taking a specific HIV medication on a daily basis to reduce the risk of contracting HIV through sex or injection drug use.

Don't inject any drugs. However, if you do, make sure to use only sterile drug injection equipment and water, and never share your equipment with others.

How can an HIV-positive person keep HIV from spreading to others?

Take your HIV medications every day. Treatment with HIV medications (also known as antiretroviral therapy or ART) allows people living with HIV to live longer, healthier lives. Although ART cannot cure HIV, it can reduce the amount of HIV in the body (called the viral load). A viral load that is undetectable means that the level of HIV in the blood is too low to be detected by a viral load test. People with HIV who maintain an undetectable viral load have virtually no risk of transmitting HIV through sex to an HIV-negative partner.

HLFPPT is a healthcare NGO in Delhi/NCR that promotes the concept of early diagnosis, timely treatment, and the adoption of a healthy lifestyle, which can help PLHIV manage their life.

HLFPPT - Best NGO Working for Skill Development

According to CMIE data, the unemployment rate rose from 7.1% in May to 7.8% in June, with rural unemployment rising by 1.4 percentage points to 8%, while urban unemployment fell by 0.9 percentage points to 7.3%, the lowest rate in India in 16 months. Some of the reasons for this include a lack of access to high-quality tertiary education and a growing skills gap. Skills development can aid structural transformation and economic growth by increasing employability and labor productivity and assisting countries in becoming more competitive.  Investment in a high-quality workforce can start a virtuous circle in which relevant and high-quality skills enable productivity growth and foreign direct investment, which leads to more and better jobs for the current workforce and more public and private investment in the education and training system.
