The only 100% way to prevent HIV infection is to abstain from any form of sexual contact or avoid any direct to blood stream events like needle sticks or transfusions with infected blood.

With that being said safe sexual practices as in wearing condoms for intercourse will greatly reduce the chances of it spreading (although they can and do break from time to time)

Other forms of medical contraception like the pill or an IUD will not stop the spread of HIV infections.
