The focus and consolidation of the agency’s efforts will be reflected in its comprehensive model for the prevention of HIV and its effects, following three courses of prevention:

• Primary: To raise awareness and prevent new infection
• Secondary: To prevent the onset of symptoms among those already infected
• Tertiary: To prevent morbidity and morality among those who are already experiencing symptoms

All three approaches will be based upon the most current research conducted in both traditional and nontraditional medicine and the behavioral sciences and will rely heavily upon a family systems approach to harm reduction.
