Is there a way to ensure that HIV is not transmitted sexually?
The only way to ensure that HIV is not transmitted sexually is by not being sexually active – abstinence. It is important to understand that there is no such thing as 100% safe sex, although the use of latex barriers such as condoms in conjunction with a spermicide can make sexual activity safer (in other words, reduce, not entirely eliminate the risk). If an individual wants to entirely eliminate the possibility of sexual transmission of HIV, abstinence is the surest method.
