Question

question 8 of 20
which method is highly effective in preventing the spread of hiv and most other stds?
a. always using a condom
b. avoiding kissing their partner
c. always wearing insect repellant
d. avoiding public restrooms

Explanation:

Condoms act as a barrier, preventing the exchange of bodily fluids (such as semen, vaginal fluids, and blood) during sexual intercourse. HIV and most other sexually - transmitted diseases (STDs) are mainly transmitted through these bodily fluids. Kissing (unless there are open sores in the mouth and direct blood - to - blood contact, which is rare) is not a common mode of HIV or most STD transmission. Insect repellant is for preventing insect - borne diseases (like malaria from mosquitoes) and has no relation to preventing HIV/STD transmission. Avoiding public restrooms is not relevant as HIV and most STDs are not transmitted through casual contact in public restrooms.

Answer:

A. Always using a condom
