Attitude and AIDS


By Caven Masuku

Take care-no need to share. Engaging in clean practices will reduce the risk of coming into contact with HIV. HIV is the virus that can develop into AIDS and may be transmitted in shared body fluids.
Condoms are available to avoid the unnecessary spread of the disease.

To lovers, one way of avoiding HIV is to practice safe sex and for the youth it is through abstinence. One can exercise safe sex by exploring and enjoying sexual activities which do not involve any exchange of body fluids.

Drinking alcohol may make it difficult to practice safer sex. Pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases and HIV result from unsafe sex.

Mixing alcohol and sex is a disaster. It weakens the decision to practice safe sex. Good advice is “always carry a condom and use it properly to avoid getting infected”.

HIV is a virus which can go on to develop into full blown AIDS.

The main way to stopping contracting HIV is by postponing sex till marriage. HIV is spread through having unprotected penetrative sex with an infected person or sharing needles/syringes with an infected person.
Abstinence especially among the young is the rule of the thumb.
