Why Prevention Justice? HIV prevention efforts in the United States have traditionally focused on individual behavior. Yet two individuals from different communities can engage in the same activities but have different levels of risk for HIV. Prevention Justice demands that we increase our resources to understand why certain communities bear a higher burden of HIV while others, even though they have the same levels of “individual risk activity,” do not.
Prevention Justice believes that the best way to prevent HIV/AIDS is to ensure that all people have the economic, social, and political power and resources to make healthy decisions about our bodies, sexuality, and reproduction for ourselves, our families, and our communities.
Prevention Justice means the people and communities most affected by the epidemic are at the forefront of policy efforts, and that HIV prevention cannot be separated from human rights.
We are united in demanding leadership in the fight against HIV/AIDS and justice in prevention policies, including:
More funding for HIV prevention efforts, with universal access to sexual health education, harm reduction and other forms of effective HIV prevention
- Comprehensive efforts to address the root causes of disparities in HIV infection
- Research for a broader range of HIV prevention intervention and tools
- An end to censorship and misinformation in HIV prevention
