Biomedical interventions
Defined as the “interventions are those that act directly on the biological systems through which the virus infects a new host.” Some of the biomedical interventions include:
1. Male condoms: When used consistently and correctly, male latex condoms are highly effective in preventing the sexual
transmission and acquisition of HIV and other STIs at the individual level. Among most-at-risk populations, increasing condom availability, accessibility, acceptability, and use has had a demonstrable population-level effect in several epidemics. In heterosexual serodiscordant relationships in which condoms were consistently used, HIV-negative partners were 80% less likely to become infected compared with persons in similar relationships in which condoms were
not used.
