The Council will vote to adopt the Prevention with Positives definition developed by the joint working group of the HIV Prevention Planning Council and the HIV Health Services Planning Council. See definition below:

Prevention with positives is any intervention that addresses the specific prevention needs of HIV positive persons. HIV positive people should be involved in the planning and implementation of all prevention with positives programs.

The main goals of prevention with positives are:

emotional, sexual, and reproductive health and wellbeing
