Comparison of the effectiveness of different HIV-1 prevention methods, and their mechanisms.

Abstract

HIV is an incurable disease that destroys the body's immune system, resulting in acquired immune deficiencies, or AIDs. The United States, responding to UNAIDS' 90-90-90 project, is greatly focused on reducing the number of HIV-infected patients, and the deaths caused by AIDS. Over the past decade, the number of new HIV cases per year decreased by approximately 11.4% from 2010 to 2018, due to the implementation of new prevention methods. According to the study, US was committed to providing interventions to increase public awareness of HIV, reduce death caused by HIV/AIDS, and retain those diagnosed with HIV in medical care. To achieve such a goal, the prevention of HIV plays a key role. The relevant treatment plan is mainly to control the viral load by intervening in the transcription and replication of the virus through drugs. to maintain the relative number of CD4+ cells. This research, therefore, analyses the mechanism and discusses the effectiveness of the prevailing prevention strategies through availability, effectiveness, efficacy, side effects, and percent of correct usage.
