However, there are ways HIV can be transmitted, and by following simple preventive measures, it can be avoided. Main prevention measures for HIV infection: Use of condoms. Condoms are one of the most effective ways to protect against HIV and other sexually transmitted infections.

Regular testing helps to know your HIV status and, if needed, start treatment early. Education and awareness. Knowing how HIV is transmitted and how to protect yourself helps reduce the risk of infection. It’s important to lead a healthy lifestyle and avoid risky behavior.
