Question

which of the following will best reduce your chance of contracting hiv?
○ abstaining from sex and avoiding contact with bodily fluids
○ keeping your sexual partners to only two or three different people
○ encouraging your friends and family members to get tested for hiv
○ learning as much as you can about the history of hiv and aids

Explanation:

To reduce the chance of contracting HIV, we analyze each option:

• Abstaining from sex and avoiding contact with bodily fluids (like blood, semen, etc.) directly reduces exposure to the virus, as HIV is transmitted through certain bodily fluids.
• Limiting sexual partners to 2 - 3 still carries risk of exposure if any partner is infected.
• Encouraging others to get tested doesn't directly reduce one's own exposure.
• Learning about HIV history doesn't prevent infection.

So the best method is abstaining from sex and avoiding contact with bodily fluids.

Answer:

A. Abstaining from sex and avoiding contact with bodily fluids
