Control of HIV/AIDS can be achieved with multi-strategies

Abstract Over past three decades, many prevention strategies have been proven effective in reducing human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission. However, none of these strategies alone are effective to stop the spread of HIV. This review discusses a few key prevention strategies, including testing, harm reduction, prevention, prophylaxis, and modern communication strategies. We argue that although there are great challenges remaining to stop HIV transmission via sexual contact and injecting drug use routes, the combination of these effective strategies, control HIV epidemic can be achieved.
