Prevention IS Care: Protect Your Health Screener Description Prevention IS Care is a social marketing campaign developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for health care providers who deliver care to persons living with HIV. The goal of the campaign is to reach these providers and encourage them to screen their HIV patients for risky transmission behaviors and deliver brief messages on the importance of protecting themselves and others by reducing their risky transmission behaviors. The campaign includes evidence-based intervention tools available to help health care providers simplify this process. There are also office posters, patient education materials, and continuing education opportunities for providers. The "Protect Your Health" screener provides suggested tips on talking with patients about behavioral risk factors for HIV and AIDS.
