Abstract
Behavioral factors and opportunities surrounding HIV prevention are discussed in this chapter. These include strategies to reduce HIV exposure risk and considerations for unique circumstances and populations. Structural and systems-level interventions are reviewed as well as medical interventions for HIV transmission prevention. Special attention is paid to prevention of HIV related to substance use, substance use screening, and expanded HIV testing. The chapter includes data from clinical trials detailing eligibility, preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) prescription, concerns related to PrEP use, and PrEP challenges and disparities. Occupational and nonoccupational postexposure prophylaxis are discussed as well as novel antiretrovirals and delivery methods for PrEP.
