Top Measures to Prevent HIV AIDS

 HIV prevention entails more than simply following the rules. It is important to understand the risks and how HIV is transmitted and not transmitted for the prevention of HIV AIDS. It's about going the extra mile to learn about both new and traditional HIV prevention methods. 

Eventually, everyone is unique. Some people are more prone to infection than others. They may have specific goals, such as starting a family or becoming pregnant, which necessitate special considerations and involve different risks. To protect yourself, you must examine your personal risk factors and devise an individual prevention strategy to reduce the risks.

Top Tips for Prevention of HIV AIDS

Test yourself for HIV. Discuss HIV testing with your partner and get tested before having sex. To find an HIV testing location near you, use the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) GetTested locator.

Select less dangerous sexual behaviors. HIV is primarily transmitted through anal or vaginal sex without the use of a condom or the use of HIV prevention or treatment medications.

Limit the number of sexual partners you have. The more partners you have, the more likely it is that you will have a partner with poorly controlled HIV or a sexually transmitted disease (STD). Both of these factors can raise the risk of contracting HIV.

Get checked for and treated for STDs. Demand that your partners be tested and treated as well. Having an STD increases your chances of contracting HIV or spreading it to others.

Consult with your doctor about pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). PrEP is an HIV prevention treatment option for people who do not have HIV but are at risk of contracting it. PrEP entails taking a specific HIV medication on a daily basis to reduce the risk of contracting HIV through sex or injection drug use.

Don't inject any drugs. However, if you do, make sure to use only sterile drug injection equipment and water, and never share your equipment with others.

How can an HIV-positive person keep HIV from spreading to others?

Take your HIV medications every day. Treatment with HIV medications (also known as antiretroviral therapy or ART) allows people living with HIV to live longer, healthier lives. Although ART cannot cure HIV, it can reduce the amount of HIV in the body (called the viral load). A viral load that is undetectable means that the level of HIV in the blood is too low to be detected by a viral load test. People with HIV who maintain an undetectable viral load have virtually no risk of transmitting HIV through sex to an HIV-negative partner.

All About the Best NGO Serving Senior Citizens

Due to the increasing abuse and suffering that elderly people must endure after they become incapable and helpless, there is a greater demand for NGO working for old age people today. As people get older, their physical and mental health decline. Since they do not receive the essential healthcare needs, they do not have a solid comprehension of the facts and knowledge about the many diseases and illnesses with reference to their physical and mental health.   It is tragic when senior citizens in a sophisticated country like India do not have access to healthcare services, good food, clothing for protection and body covering, etc., or do not receive the respect they deserve from their families. After the age of 50 or 60, people look forward to emotional support more than anything, and they feel abused and ignored when they don't receive it. As restitution for the sacrifices they have made in the past for their sons and grandchildren, NGOs that support the elderly are ready to h

NGO in Adolescent Healthcare With Awesome Performance - HLFPPT

Adolescent Healthcare is one of the primary concerns in villages, as people do not take preventative measures. According to them everything that happens is destined, but as we all know that unless one takes necessary precautions protection from serious disorders is not possible. HIV, diseases during pregnancy, drug abuse, anxiety and depression are some of the major problems people fight with and the concern is, they don’t know about it. Women keeps on doing daily chores at highest level during pregnancy, men are unaware about HIV positive symptoms, therefore no precautions are taken before intercourse, young girls do not take care of hygienic conditions during mensuration as all they know is this is taboo and they must be away from everyone.
