How can HIV be Prevented

Prevention is simple, easy and the only answer we have got today unless we find some cure is that HIV can be easily prevented by adopting simple measures such as:

SAFE SEX:

The only safe sex is ‘no sex’ all other practices like masturbation, cuddling, hugging, rubbing, sticking to one partner or using condoms if one cannot avoid multiple partners are safer sex practices.

SAFE BLOOD:

Judicious use of blood and use only pre-tested HIV free blood or blood products.

SAFE NEEDLES:

Insist your doctors and nurses to use sterile or disposable needles and instruments.

SAFE MOTHERHOOD:

Before taking any major step in life like marriage or having a child, ascertain that you are HIV free.

SAFE RAZOR AND BLADE:

Never share your shaving blades with anyone and also ask your barber to use properly cleansed razor and a new blade during shaving or a hair cut. (Although the risk of getting infection from a salon is minimal).
