HIV prevalence The number of persons living with HIV disease at a given time regardless of the time of infection, whether the person has received a diagnosis (aware of infection), or the stage of HIV disease.
3
HIV prevalence Although HIV prevalence does not indicate how long a person has had HIV, it can be used to estimate the probability that a person selected at random from a population will have HIV.
4
HIV incidence HIV incidence is the estimated number of persons newly infected with HIV during a specified time period (e.g., a year) or as a rate calculated by dividing the estimated number of persons newly infected with HIV during a specified time period by the number of persons at risk for HIV infection.

Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) Taking certain HIV treatment medications every day as a form of HIV prevention. “In several studies of PrEP, the risk of getting HIV infection was much lower—up to 92% lower—for those who took the medicines consistently than for those who didn’t take the medicines” (from CDC website).
