Which of the following is a main focus area for the Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention?

• A. Researching women's health issues
• B. Developing vaccines for infectious diseases
• C. Promoting prevention and treatment of HIV/AIDS
• D. Addressing childhood obesity

Answer: (C)

The Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention is focused on preventing HIV infections and improving health outcomes for people living with HIV by advancing prevention strategies, expanding testing, and linking people to care and treatment. This emphasis on preventing transmission and promoting access to treatment is exactly what the division concentrates its resources and programs on, making the option that centers on promoting prevention and treatment of HIV/AIDS the best fit.

Other areas, like researching women’s health issues, developing vaccines for other infectious diseases, or addressing childhood obesity, are handled by different public health programs or agencies and are not the primary mandate of this division.
