Health Promotion and Maintenance QID 505

Which action is most effective in preventing the transmission of HIV?

A:
Engaging in withdrawal before ejaculation during intercourse.
B:
Taking antibiotics before high-risk behaviors.
C:
Consistently using latex condoms correctly during intercourse.
D:
Using natural lambskin condoms during intercourse.

Explanation

HIV is a virus and cannot be prevented with antibiotics. Consistent and correct use of latex condoms during intercourse is one of the most effective means to prevent HIV transmission as well as other sexually transmitted infections. Natural lambskin condoms do not provide effective protection against HIV, and withdrawal before ejaculation does not prevent HIV transmission.
