How to prevent AIDS infection?

1、 Since sexual activity is the main route for the spread of sexually transmitted diseases, as long as one persists in protecting one's love, refraining from prostitution, avoiding premarital and extramarital sexual activities, and engaging in sexual relations with sexual partners, it is basically possible to prevent sexually transmitted diseases. This is the most basic and effective way to prevent sexually transmitted diseases. Of course, some people also believe that as long as direct sexual intercourse is avoided, sexually transmitted diseases can be avoided. This is not the case. Sexual behavior not only refers to sexual intercourse between men and women, but also anal, oral, and homosexual sex can transmit sexually transmitted diseases. The direct contact of the skin of sexual organs and the contact of hands and sexual organs are also sexual behaviors, and can also indirectly affect infectious diseases.
