1. Sexually active individuals should be tested for HIV.

1. Sexually active individuals should be tested for HIV.
2. Condoms provide a means of safer sex.
3. Limit sexual partners.
Rationale: Sexually active individuals should be tested for HIV. All sexually active individuals should get tested for HIV. The reason HIV has become so widespread is because individuals do not know they have the disease. Condoms provide a means of safer sex. Condoms do provide a means of safer sex, but they do not guarantee safe sex. Limit sexual partners. Limiting sex partners is correct, but optimally clients should have a monogamous partner. Use lubricants such as oils and creams during sex. Individuals should not use oils and creams; a better choice is to use water-soluble lubricants such as KY jelly. Oral sex will prevent sexually transmitted diseases. Oral sex is not safe for the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases.
