HARM REDUCTIONWHAT IS HARM REDUCTION?5HARM REDUCTION: KEY CONCEPTS 5PRINCIPLES OF HARM REDUCTION6 HARM REDUCTION FOR HIV PREVENTIONHarm reduction is a framework in which effective HIV prevention can be carried out for IDUs and their sexual partners.
The focus of harm reduction strategies remains on immediate and easily preventable harms rather than on setting unrealistic goals such as complete abstinence.
Harm reduction aims to prevent the transmission of HIV by reducing the harm associated with high risk behaviours such as sharing needles, syringes and other equipment for preparing and injecting drugs, and unsafe sexual behaviours.
Harm reduction is not limited to HIV prevention alone.Other interventions such a abscess prevention, safer injecting practices and management go beyond HIV prevention.HARM REDUCTION STRATEGIES UNDER NACPMETHODS TO REDUCE DRUG-RELATED HARMSThis entire package = Harm Reduction9VARIOUS HARM REDUCTION STRATEGIESNeedle Syringe Exchange Programme
