The Code identifies several key principles on HIV prevention:
• We provide and/or advocate for comprehensive HIV prevention programmes to meet the variety of needs of individuals and communities
• Our HIV programmes are integrated to reach and meet the diverse needs of PLHIV and affected communities
• Our prevention programmes ensure that individuals have access to and information about the use of commodities to prevent HIV infection
• We provide and/or advocate for comprehensive harm reduction programmes for people who inject drugs.
• Our prevention programmes enable individuals to develop the skills to protect themselves and others from HIV infection.
This self-assessment checklist will help you assess the degree to which your organisation is successfully implementing these principles. The questions are designed to be thinking points/guidelines to help you identify areas that are already at a ‘good practice’ level, and areas that need to be developed and strengthened.
