HIV/AIDS safety measures
December 13, 2007 – 9:30 pm
Now that year 2007 is almost elapsed. We should never be care free in our daily activities. As known, HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is more frequently transmitted through unprotected sex or sharing contaminated needles. Transmission from mother to fetus or through blood products has significantly declined in the United States. There are other ways with which HIV can be transmitted from an infected. Assume an infected person sits on a chair that has a sharp metal bulge out of the sofa which injures a HIV patient and unknown to a HIV negative person sits and the chair and is injured by the same metal, the person becomes infected.
As we go out for our daily activities we should take precaution in our place of work, public places like the bus stop e.t.c so we do not get our self injured by any sharp object that may have injured an HIV positive person. Also when we go for parties like birthday party, marriages and other, we should not allow people place tags on our cloth as one might get injured in the process and who knows if the tag pin has been infected. We should also endeavor to play safe; we zip-up, be faithful to our partners and use CONDOMs. We should take precaution so we do not learn the hard way and be sorry for ourselves.
Taking precautions from HIV/AIDS, avoid places where one can be easily injured by objects which might have injured an HIV positive person. Avoid sharing objects like needles, toothbrushes, shaving stick, Hair clippers, for the women be careful with the needles used on your hair when you do your hair, to be on the safe side go with a needle of your own, avoid boarding public transports that are not in good conditions as you might get yourself injured from a sharp object in the vehicle which may not be safe as it may have infected a HIV patient, stay away from pre-marital sex or use condoms and, be faithful to your partner. Above all ask for God protection and guidance any where we go as our own carefulness might not be enough.
