Primary Prevention Branch

Overview

The Primary Prevention Branch supports research to identify emerging populations at high risk for HIV infection, to identify potentially modifiable risk factors for HIV transmission in these populations, and to develop effective interventions to prevent or reduce the transmission of HIV/AIDS and STDs. Major research foci within the Branch include primary prevention and behavior change at multiple levels to reduce incident HIV infections and development of HIV prevention strategies targeted to communities at risk.
