With continuing advancement in treatment for HIV and AIDS, it is crucial to know what your status is. Yes, the best way to avoid getting AIDS is to abstain from all sexual activity. During sex, it becomes more likely that one of the bodily fluids will come in contact with your blood through breaks in the skin, vaginal walls, etc. If you do choose to engage in sexual activity, use a latex condom. The proper use of a properly stored condom virtually eliminates the risk of infection.
Condoms are available for free to Tech students at the Infirmary and the local health department.
