    • Ensure that all your sexual relations are protected or safe;
    • Avoid sharing needles, syringes or other drug-related paraphernalia;
    • Avoid sharing your toothbrush, razor, nail file or other personal instrument that may be contaminated by blood;
    • Wear gloves if you are at risk of body fluid contact and work in an environment where care to HIV-infected individuals is present.

     If you are accidentally exposed to HIV

    • Adequately wash the skin with soap and water (scrubbing is not necessary);
    • Adequately rinse your mouth or eyes in the event of exposure;
    • Consult a health care professional, familiar with the approach and management of accidental HIV exposures. It is important to evaluate the need for preventive or prophylactic HIV medications;
