Prevention

Approaches to preventing new HIV infections, including pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP); sexually transmitted infection screening and testing; engaging people with HIV in care to achieve viral suppression in order to reduce HIV transmission; behavioral interventions; and linkages to other medical and social services (e.g., substance abuse, mental health, housing).

Best Practices

  • Best Practices Compilation
    Nine sites implemented four evidence-based interventions, collectively known as Addressing STIs: Ask.Test.Treat.Repeat. The four intervention components are audio computer-assisted self-interview sexual history taking, patient self-collection of urogenital and extragenital site chlamydia/gonorrhea nucleic acid amplification test specimens, sexual and gender minority welcoming indicators, and provider training, with the overall goal to routinize STI screening, testing, and treatment in primary care. The interventions increased routine STI screening and testing of bacterial STIs based on reported behavioral risk.
