Health literacy is essential to the overall health of the population, and knowledge of HIV and AIDS is essential to preventing its spread.

Uzbekistan, for example, has a low HIV prevalence rate but is considered to be at high risk for an epidemic because it has low literacy and so on health literacy levels.
