CONCLUSIONS
All the different strategies and interventions were discussed in detail in the respective paragraphs above with evidence from various research project sites/trials thereby providing a strong support for decision making for public health professionals & clinicians. As public health professionals we must agree with the evidence-based medicine and have to find the lacunae in our implementing programs and correct the gaps for effective prevention using the combination of these biomedical and behavioral interventions that are implemented cost effectively among the high-risk groups as well to halt the epidemic. These prevention strategies remind us that successful programs deal with both individual risk and underlying causes of vulnerability. They require biomedical and behavioral interventions that are specifically selected and tailored to suit local needs as articulated by affected communities.
