using a condom every time you have sex and don't share needles with anyone. You can also

How do I avoid getting HIV during sex?

HIV is spread through contact with blood or sexual secretions (such as semen and vaginal
fluids), usually during vaginal and anal sex. Therefore, the only way to be 100% sure to
avoid contagion is not to have vaginal or anal sex.

However, most people have sex at some point in their life, so it is important to educate
yourself about HIV prevention and safe sex. Using condoms REALLY lowers the risk of
getting HIV. If you are going to have sex, the best way to protect yourself is to use a condom
every time you do it. There is also a daily pill you can take - called PrEP - that can help you
prevent HIV. Your doctor or nurse can tell you if PrEP is right for you.
