Effective illness and injury prevention strategies for the GLBT population include measures to prevent HIV infection and immunization for illnesses such as hepatitis A and B for those at risk of infection. Population health nurses can promote strengthening partner relationships. Other illness and injury prevention strategies would be similar to those for the general population and include eliminating risk behaviors such as smoking. Recommending hormone therapy would be appropriate to resolve an existing health problem.
