Practice Question
A community health nurse is providing teaching about HIV prevention. What prevention measure should the nurse include in the teaching.
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Wearing male and/or female condoms during sexual activity can prevent HIV transmission,
Rationale:
🟦 Condom use is a proven and effective method for reducing HIV transmission during sexual activity.
🟦 Condoms act as a physical barrier that prevents exchange of blood, semen, and vaginal fluids.
🟦 Consistent and correct use significantly lowers the risk of sexual transmission of HIV.
🟦 Both male and female condoms provide protection when used properly.
🟦 Teaching condom use empowers individuals to engage in safer sexual practices.
HIV is only transmitted through sexual contact like other STIs.
🟦 HIV is transmitted through blood, semen, vaginal fluids, rectal fluids, and breast milk.
🟦 It can also be spread through needle sharing and perinatal exposure, not only sexual contact.
HIV can be transmitted through saliva, so it is important to limit kissing.
🟦 Saliva does not transmit HIV unless blood is present in significant amounts.
🟦 Casual contact such as kissing does not pose a transmission risk.
Only IV drug users are at risk of getting HIV because it is transmitted by blood only.
🟦 HIV affects individuals across all populations and risk groups.
🟦 Sexual transmission remains one of the most common routes of infection.
