Applications for Clinical Practice
Risk reduction interventions are needed for people living with HIV to help control the spread of STIs and reduce HIV transmission. More high-quality research on HIV/STI prevention interventions is needed. While there have been only a few studies, the existing data indicate that integration of STI services into HIV care and treatment service can be feasible and can have positive outcomes [6].
