People who become infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are at risk of developing HIV/AIDs, particularly if antiretroviral therapy (ART) is not available. In people infected with HIV, the use of ART also helps to reduce transmission of the virus to uninfected people. Outline two control methods, other than ART, that can be used to reduce the transmission of HIV. ............................................................................................................................................... . ............................................................................................................................................... . ............................................................................................................................................... . ............................................................................................................................................... . ............................................................................................................................................... . ......................................................................................................................................... In people with HIV/AIDs, a serious lung disease known as pneumocystis pneumonia can result from infection by an opportunistic pathogen known as Pneumocystis jirovecii. Fig. 2.1 shows $$\(P\)$$. jirovecii cells in one stage of their life cycle, as seen using a light microscope at a magnification of $$\(\times 600\)$$. Fig. 2.1
