- Find ways to diagnose HIV outside of doctors’ offices.
- Prevent new infections by working with HIV-infected people and their partners.
- Decrease mother-to-child HIV transmission.

ways to help women reduce risk behavior
products, like microbicides (gels, creams, or suppositories that kill viruses), to help prevent the spread of HIV
