Prevent Aids

Learning how to prevent AIDS and HIV transmission is an important educational task that needs to focus on children, teens, adults and senior citizens. AIDS has no prejudice in who it effects or kills. The only cure for HIV and AIDS is education.

Here are the facts on how to prevent AIDS and HIV with safe sex. Risky sexual activities with multiple sex partners and not using protection are a sure way of getting HIV positive. Using condoms, dental dams, gloves and not sharing sex toys will cut down the risks.

The number of sex partners is another factor in how to prevent AIDS. Using drugs and alcohol can severely impair good judgment and lead to risky sexual encounters as well. Also, sharing IV needles for illegal drugs and hormone injections for the transgender community increases the rate of HIV infection.

There are misconceptions on how to prevent AIDS. Some people believe that they are invincible and impervious to HIV and AIDS. It takes just one protected sexual encounter or sharing of needles to get HIV and AIDS.

Blood, semen, vaginal and other bodily fluids can be infected with HIV and AIDS. Not coming into contact with bodily fluids is another way how to prevent AIDS and HIV. Exposure does not always mean infection but seeing a physician and getting an HIV test will help in learning HIV status.
