|
AIDS is hard to get by casual contact! |
DO NOT worry about: |
|
Touching, hugging, toilet seats, mosquitoes, swimming pools, or sneezes. And don't worry about sweat, tears, urine or saliva (unless there is alot of blood in it). |
|
Here is what you DO need to worry about: |
|
Activities: |
|
Unprotected Sex (sex without a condom) - anal, vaginal, oral. |
|
Blood to Blood - sharing needles, tattoos, ear and body piercing. |
|
Infected mother to child - during pregnancy, at birth, or through mother's breast milk. |
|
|
Dangerous Fluids: |
|

Here is how to prevent HIV/AIDS: |
Abstinence is the best choice! |
|
It is not the time to experiment with sex or drugs. Drugs mess up your mind and distort your judgment. Postponing sex is a really good idea. |
|
If you or someone you know is sexually active, we recommend: |
|
Proper and consistent condom use is a must! |
|
Check the expiration date! |
|
Open the package very carefully! |
|
Monogamy, fidelity, and trust. |
|
Carefully take the condom off immediately after ejaculation! |
|
Only use each condom one time! |
|
Dispose of it properly! |
