Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is an example of tertiary prevention, which focuses on reducing the impact of an already established disease or condition. The clinic is providing care and treatment for individuals who already have HIV. Primary prevention aims to prevent disease or injury before it occurs, and secondary prevention aims to detect and treat disease in its early stages. Policy making does not apply to this scenario.
