HIV Prevention
About HIV Prevention
Today, more tools than ever are available to prevent HIV. Using condoms the right way, every-time you have sex, always using clean needles, taking PrEP if you are HIV negative, or taking treatment as prevention (TasP) if you are HIV positive, you can further reduce and even eliminate your risk of HIV transmission.
Getting regular sexual health check, including a HIV test when appropriate, is also important to help reduce HIV in our community. Read more about how HIV is transmitted and how to prevent it here.
How Is HIV Transmitted
HIV can be shared in some body fluids, like blood and semen, but not in fluids like saliva or sweat.
Treatment As Prevention
TasP refers to using HIV medication to dramatically reduce the chance of transmitting HIV to others.
