Which of the following statements by the client who has HIV would require further teaching by the health care professional?
1. "I will use an oil-based lubricant when I use condoms.".
2. "I know I have to assume responsibility when I have sex.".
3. "I will not share my toothbrush or razor with my partner.".
4. "I know I can't donate blood anymore since I have HIV.".
"I will use an oil-based lubricant when I use condoms.".
Rationale: The nurse should educate the client regarding the prevention of the spread of
HIV. The client will need further education when he states that he will use an oil-based lubricant. The client should be educated to use latex condoms for oral, vaginal, or anal intercourse, and to avoid natural or animal skin condoms, which allow passage of HIV. The client should use only water-based lubricants—not oil-based, such as petroleum jelly, which can result in condom damage. The client is correct in stating that it is not an acceptable practice to share toothbrushes or razors. The client is also correct in stating that blood donation is prohibited and in stating his role in engaging only in safe sex.
