Today we know that for new HIV infection prevention, there are some
effective and feasible programs such as needle exchange, behavioral interventions and
antiretroviral therapy (ART). The main component to maintaining behavioral changes
is to find novel techniques and know how to stay motivated and also use combination
of techniques and methods. This is what researcher and health providers call
Biomedical and Behavioral interventions in prevention of HIV infection. Current
evidence confirms the efficacy of behavioral interventions in lowering HIV acquisition
versus standard care or no intervention. Biomedical intervention is another effective
program for HIV prevention, where medical and clinical approaches are used to
decrease HIV infection. As HIV infection rates are strongly influenced by human
behavior, behavioral changes has long been understood as essential to curb the
prevalence of infection. In all cases where a decrease in prevalence has been observed,
broad-based changes in behavior were the key of success. Besides behavior change
strategies, it is necessary to consider the accessibility to novel biomedical HIV
prevention modalities such as vaccines and microbicides. The combination of
behavioral changes and application of medical treatment (as ARV or Drug treatment
such as Methadone and preventive treatments like microbicides) is regarded as the best
effective intervention aganist HIV acquisition.
