Передачи ВИЧ и других СПБ во время полового сношения можно с успехом избежать, если постоянно и правильно применять качественные презерватиы. Исследовя, проведенные среди серодискорднтных пар (когда лишь один из партнеров ВИЧ-инфицирован), показали, что при регулярых половых сношениях в течение более двух лет, риск ВИЧ- инфицирования для партнеров, постоянно применявших презерватиы, был почти нулевым.

Social marketing has become an increasingly popular way of addressing serious health issues in developing countries. By using traditional commercial marketing techniques, social marketing makes much-needed products available and affordable to low-income people. In the mid-80s, condom social marketing emerged as an effective tool against the spread of HIV/AIDS. This document defines social marketing, as well as highlighting the three key lessons learned in promoting condom social marketing. These include the fact that seed money can effectively be used to leverage additional resources for major public health impact; social marketing can be applied to new products and services; and social marketing can help create an enabling and supportive environment for behavioural change. The document also discusses UNAIDS’ role in social marketing.
