Three ways to help to prevent the spread of AIDS?

Answer 1

Yes, you can avoid HIV altogether if you don't use shared needles. Sharing needles is the number one method that HIV spreads between IV drug users.

If you can't kick the habit, at least get fresh needles. There are needle exchange programs available.

Answer 2

AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) is not infectious and does not spread.

HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is contagious and is transmitted through contact with infected blood, semen, vaginal fluid and breast milk.

Three ways to help prevent the spread of the infection could include: More community health education, better distribution of safer sex materials (ie condoms), and better access to medical care for those infected with HIV.

Answer 3

# Always use a clean needle # Never share a needle with someone else # Make sure the needle is completely sterile before you use it

Answer 4

The two best ways to prevent HIV/AIDS is by practicing safe sex and using sterilized needles. This doesn't mean you can't get HIV, but it drastically decreases the odds of obtaining it.
