The nurse is teaching a seminar about preventing the spread of HIV. Which statement by a student indicates that additional teaching is required?
a. "A woman can still get pregnant if she is HIV positive."
b. "I won't get HIV if I only have oral sex with my partner."
c. "Showering after intercourse will not prevent HIV transmission."
d. "People with HIV are still contagious even if they take HAART drugs."
B
HIV may be transmitted via oral sex when mucous membranes or nonintact skin comes in contact with infected body fluids (semen or vaginal secretions) or blood. Women who are HIV positive may get pregnant, and showering after intercourse will not reduce the risk of HIV transmission. HAART will lower viral loads, but the client will still be able to transmit the HIV virus to others.
