Answer by  John (9008)

It is easy to greatly reduce your odds of getting HIV or AIDS. First of all, avoid intravenous drug use. Next, if you get tattoos, ensure that your parlor has and uses an autoclave. The biggest thing, however, is to avoid unsafe sex. This means always using a condom, regardless of the exact sexual activity.

What's "best" depends on your preferences. Best in terms of safety is not to exchange body fluids with a possibly person, which equals abstinence of direct and indirect (e.g. via syringe needles) fluid exchange you want 100% safety.

Aside from abstaining from unprotected sex, avoiding coming in contact with bodily fluids from an infected or unknown status individual is most essential. Remember, you can not get AIDS from casual, every day contact, bodily fluid transmission is still the only recognized form of transmission for the disease.

Avoid ever having sex with a person who is already infected, and always use protection when having sex. You should not share needles if you are a drug user.
