Answer

Awareness and precautions are the only option to prevent AIDS. National AIDS Control Organisation (NACO) started in 1991 in India and many other started a number of programmes to prevent the spread of HIV. Some main strategies of prevention are:
  • Making blood (in blood bank reserves) safe from HIV.
  • Use of only disposable needles and syringes in public and private hospitals and clinics.
  • Free distribution of condoms and advocating safe sex.
  • Controlling drug abuse.
  • Promoting regular check-ups for HIV in susceptible people.
