Clinical prevention of HIV infection and AIDS is the cornerstone of controlling the global HIV pandemic that has now killed more than 40.4 million people globally, including 1.5 million children. Two-thirds of new HIV infections occur in Africa, primarily via heterosexual sexual contact. In the United States, gay and bisexual men and people who inject drugs are most commonly affected. While a cure remains out of reach, HIV infection is now seen as a chronic illness due to the effectiveness of antiretroviral therapy. Universal Test and Treat, Treatment as Prevention, preexposure prophylaxis, and postexposure prophylaxis are significant advancements that make the goal of halting the global pandemic of HIV feasible. Although the incidence of HIV infections is decreasing in the United States and worldwide, specific populations face rising rates due to socioeconomic factors.This activity reviews the risk factors for HIV transmission, methods of reducing the risk of HIV transmission, implementation considerations for specific population groups, and the role of clinical, public health, and other interdisciplinary team members in decreasing the global burden of this disease.
