| Most people who are infected with HIV do not know they are infected, and you cannot tell if a person is infected just by looking at them. |
|
| It is important to talk to your sexual partner about the risk of infection with HIV. There are a number of ways to have safer sex
including using condoms, or having sex where no penetration or contact with body fluids occurs. |
|
| Some couples in serious relationships choose to have an HIV test. This helps them make choices about their sexual practices and their future |
|
| Couples who are planning to have a baby should know that the baby can also be infected with the virus during pregnancy, birth or through
breastfeeding. Only some babies born to infected mothers become infected with HIV. |
|
If you are in a sexual relationship:
- talk to your partner about HIV/AIDS
- practice safer sex by using condoms
- find out other ways to have safer sex
- know the facts about HIV/AIDS
- consider having an HIV test
|
|
| You and your partner have the right to say no to sex, and to practise safer sex. Respect your partner, and work together to prevent
HIV/AIDS. |
