HIV: Prevention

Properly used, latex condoms will prevent HIV infection

Latex dental dams can help protect from the small risk associated with HIV transmission during oral sex

Talk to your partner(s) about their status before having sex

By being in an exclusive relationship with one partner; limiting number of sex partners; and choosing a partner who has had no or few prior sex partners.

Having other STDs increases the risk of HIV infection; get screened for STDs regularly
