HOW CAN HIV BE PREVENTED?
Despite considerable investment and research, there is no HIV and AIDS vaccine. However, there are other ways that people can protect them- selves from HIV infection.
HIV education needs to be culturally appropriate and can take place in various settings, for example lessons at school, media campaigns, or peer education.
PREVENTING SEXUAL TRANSMISSION OF HIV
‘Safer sex’ refers to things that a person can do to minimize their risk of HIV infection during sexual intercourse; most importantly, using con- doms consistently and correctly.
A person can be certain that they are protected against HIV infection by choosing not to have sex at all, or by only doing things that do not in- volve any blood or sexual fluid from one person getting into another per- son’s body.
Effective sex education is important for providing young people with the knowledge and skills to protect themselves from sexual transmission of HIV.
PREVENTING TRANSMISSION OF HIV THROUGH BLOOD Injecting drug users who share injecting equipment or works are at risk
of HIV infection. Needle exchange programmes can help to prevent HIV transmission among drug users by providing clean needles and disposing of used ones.
Health care workers can be exposed to HIV infected blood while at work. The most effective way to limit their risk of HIV infection is to wash
hands and wear protective barriers (gloves, aprons, goggles).
PREVENTING MOTHER TO CHILD TRANSMISSION OF HIV Mother-to-child transmission of HIV can be prevented by using antiret-
roviral drugs, which reduce the chances of a child becoming infected with HIV to less than 2 %. Once a child is born, safer infant feeding practices can also greatly reduce the risk of HIV being passed on from mother to child.
This is why HIV testing in pregnancy is a crucial prevention measure.

HOT TOPIC
Celebrating the Talent of Melbourne’s Homeless Community
Would you ever think about a homeless person as talented, creative or in possession of some pretty amazing skills? Probably not.
It’s time to change your perception. Youth Projects supports Where The Heart Is Community Festival. Now in its eighth year, the festival is
a celebration of the lives, skills, talents, creativity and achievements of
Melbourne’s homeless and marginally housed community.
The festival, put together by over 30 organisations in the health and
homeless sectors and supported by the local, state and federal governments,
was held on March 23 in Fitzroy North’s Edinburgh Gardens.
Aimed at offering a day of fun and performance for Melbourne’s home-
less, the day was packed full of fantastic activities including music per-
formances, poetry readings and art and craft workshops as well as services including free haircuts, massages and meals.
Youth Projects understands that part of being homeless is losing your connection to society and to your personal identity. Homeless and disadvan-
taged people struggle to feel part of a community — becoming re-connected
to something is part of the process of ending homelessness.
Where The Heart Is encourages proactivity. Last year, over 1,000 home-
less and disadvantaged people attended the festival in the hope of meeting people they could connect with.
