Detailed explanation-1: -HIV treatment coverage has leapt from 55% in 2016 to over 85% in 2020. Currently, we estimated that 90% of people living with HIV (PLHIV) know their status, 86% of them receive antiretroviral therapy (ART), and among those, 72% have a suppressed viral load-meaning they have no risk of transmitting it.
Detailed explanation-2: -HIV is spread through contact with blood or sexual fluids (like semen and vaginal fluids), usually during vaginal and anal sex. So the only 100% certain way to avoid HIV is to not have vaginal or anal sex.
Detailed explanation-3: -Reducing new infections, according to WHO, will require increased use of condoms, sustainable programmes to encourage changes in sexual behaviour, affordable methods for preventing infection in high-risk populations and expanded treatments for preventing mother-to-child transmissions.
