| There is no cure for AIDS. The only way to avoid HIV infection is to follow effective prevention. These include health education, behavior modification, condom and clean syringe distribution, delayed sexual activities, and antiretroviral therapy for pregnant women to reduce the risk of mother-to-child transmission. It is essential for information about these health strategies to be factual, culturally relevant, and comprehensive. HIV/AIDS prevention messages are most useful when they are integrated into broader health promotion efforts. Such efforts are often found in educational institutions and correctional facilities, and as a part of substance abuse and mental health treatment.
