Learn how to treat and prevent HIV from Dr. Sabrina Kendrick, Director of the Ruth M. Rothstein CORE Center & getSTDtested.com

How do I treat and prevent HIV? Those persons who should be tested for HIV include those who are having unprotected sex, particularly those who have vaginal or anal unprotected sex. HIV is transmitted through unprotected sex or by blood, mainly through sharing needles. HIV is tested conclusively with a laboratory-based blood test. Currently there is no vaccine for the HIV virus, but there are medications that patients can take that includes a combination of these antiretroviral drugs that make up a cocktail that the patients can take and do well with these medications and live longer with a productive lifestyle. You can prevent transmission of HIV by not participating in risky behaviors which includes using condoms when you have and not sharing needles.

  • Thank you for the feedback. According to the CDC, the only ways to transmit HIV are sexual contact with an infected person or by sharing needles (primarily for drug use) with an infected person. Some people fear that HIV might be transmitted in other ways; however, no scientific evidence to support any of these fears has been found.
