TBPs should be tailored to the particular infectious agent involved and the mode of transmission. To minimise the exposure time of other people in office-based practices or hospital waiting rooms, people identified as at risk of transmitting droplet or airborne diseases for example, a child with suspected chickenpox should be attended to immediately and placed into appropriate transmission-based precautions to prevent further spread of disease. Table 1 outlines the TBPs to be taken for infections with airborne, droplet or contact transmission.
Transmission-based precautions required according to route of transmission. For information on infection prevention and control precautions required for carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae CPE see the Victorian guideline on CPE for health services or Victorian guideline on CPE for long-term residential care facilities For information on infection prevention and control precautions for other multi-resistant organisms see the Patient-centred risk management strategy for multi-resistant organisms For more information regarding which other infectious agents require transmission-based precautions, see the NHMRC Australian guidelines for the prevention and control of infection in healthcare Signage should be positioned prominently outside the room of a patient in TBPs.

When therapy is stopped, viral load rebounds, and the risk of transmitting HIV to a sexual partner in the absence of other prevention methods returns. NIAID-supported research has provided clear-cut scientific evidence to support the benefits of staying on continuous antiretroviral treatment.
Taking antiretroviral treatment daily as directed to achieve and maintain durably undetectable status stops HIV infection from progressing, helping people living with HIV stay healthy and live longer, while offering the benefit of preventing sexual transmission.
Stopping and re-starting treatment can cause drug resistance to develop, making that treatment regimen ineffective and limiting future treatment options. HIV treatment guidelines, viral load typically should be measured every three to four months. People living with HIV should talk with their health care teams to determine an appropriate schedule for viral load testing. Having a blip is relatively common and does not indicate that antiretroviral therapy has failed to control the virus.
Scientists are working to better understand what causes blips. People living with HIV can involve their partners in their treatment plans. Research shows that adhering to treatment often can improve with support from loving relationships and from the community. Pre-exposure prophylaxis PrEP , in which an HIV-negative person takes antiretroviral medication to prevent infection, can be part of the conversation. Learn more about PrEP. Ways to reduce the risk of STIs include having both partners tested, limiting the number of sexual partners and using condoms.
