Code of Good Practice

HIV Prevention

There is an impressive body of evidence and experience to guide effective HIV prevention. Given that prevention efforts reach fewer than one in five of those at risk, one of the most significant challenges we now face is ensuring that this knowledge is consistently applied in scaling up prevention efforts to reach the millions of people at risk of HIV infection worldwide.

THE PRINCIPLES:

We provide and/or advocate for comprehensive HIV prevention programmes to meet the variety of needs of individuals and communities.

Our HIV prevention programmes enable individuals to develop the skills to protect themselves and/or others from HIV infection.

Our HIV prevention programmes ensure that individuals have access to and information about the use of commodities to prevent HIV infection.

We provide and/or advocate for comprehensive harm reduction programmes for people who inject drugs.
