How Can It Be Prevented?

How Can It Be Prevented?

One of the reasons that HIV is so dangerous is that a person can have the virus for a long time without knowing it. That person can then spread the virus to others through high-risk behaviors. HIV transmission can be prevented by:

  • abstaining from sex (not having oral, vaginal, or anal sex)
  • always using latex condoms for all types of sexual intercourse
  • avoiding contact with the bodily fluids through which HIV is transmitted
  • never sharing needles
