5 Types of Intervention Against HIV
There are several types of interventions which you can take against HIV. Many are useful, but no one of them alone is sufficient. Unfortunately, some of these approaches are promoted with religious fervor, to the exclusion of the others. The best overall approach may be one which is inclusive, combining the best of each of the five types of intervention.
Type 1. General health maintenance
This means doing all of the things normally recommended for leading a healthy life: proper nutrition and nutritional support; adequate rest; avoidance of alcohol, smoking, drugs and unnecessary stress; exercise and fresh air. In short, all the things our mothers always recommended. Taken alone, good health maintenance won't prevent progression to AIDS or cure it, but it will give each person the best fighting chance he or she has. A good defense builds upon a solid foundation.
