Registration, Completion of Pre-Program Assessment, and Module 1: PrEP Basics DURATION: 90 minutes (1.5 hours) Speaker Notes: Different people have different HIV prevention needs and, for a given individual, prevention needs can change over time. No single prevention intervention can fully address all prevention needs. To prevent HIV infection, a combination of structural, behavioral, and biomedical interventions are used. The combination of prevention approaches used are based on both epidemiological and demographic evidence of what is needed in a particular setting. Combining approaches result in synergies with greater impact than single interventions alone. Antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) are now used as additional tools in combination prevention. The use of ARVs for HIV prevention is well established; we have been using ARVs to prevent transmission of HIV (PMTCT) and for post- exposure prophylaxis (PEP) for many years.
