Populations & Programmes

The five pillars of HIV prevention address the key and priority populations and programmes for an accelerated response to the epidemic.

Pillars 1–3 describe people-centred prevention services that use a combination of evidence-based interventions to serve key populations everywhere and adolescents and young adults in areas with high rates of HIV. Condoms (Pillar 4) and antiretroviral-based prevention (Pillar 5) are high-impact tools for all populations in need of HIV prevention.
