Prevention Strategies for AIDS — NEET Biology
📚 Practice ConceptPrevention of AIDS: As AIDS has no cure, prevention is the best option. Moreover, HIV infection, more often, spreads due to conscious behaviour patterns and is not something that happens inadvertently, like pneumonia or typhoid. Of course, infection in blood transfusion patients, new-borns (from mother) etc., may take place due to poor monitoring. The only excuse may be ignorance and it has been rightly said – "don't die of ignorance". In our country the National AIDS Control Organisation (NACO) and other non-governmental organisation (NGOs) are doing a lot to educate people about AIDS. WHO has started a number of programmes to prevent the spreading of HIV infection. Making blood (from blood banks) safe from HIV, ensuring the use of only disposable needles and syringes in public and private hospitals and clinics, free distribution of condoms, controlling drug abuse, advocating safe sex and promoting regular check-ups for HIV in susceptible populations, are some such steps taken up.
Which of the following statements correctly describe effective practices for the prevention and control of substance abuse, as outlined in NCERT?

S2: The National AIDS Control Organisation (NACO) primarily focuses on rehabilitation programs for drug addicts, not education on prevention. S3: Early identification of danger signs by parents and teachers is essential for initiating proper remedial steps or treatment. S4: Isolation of individuals using drugs from family and society is an effective way to control drug abuse. S5: Professional and medical help, including de-addiction and rehabilitation programs, are available for individuals affected by drug/alcohol abuse.
