Don't have sex with anyone (abstinence) or have sex with non infected people who have sex only with you (monogamy). If you are not sure that you and your partner are infection, PLEASE use protection during sex. Latex condoms for each sexual encounter, Spermicidal foams, creams, and jellies offer additional protection.
