The best ways to stop HIV
* No touch with person's blood, sperm or vaginal fluids
* No share needles and shots
* No use drugs or alcohol (beer/wine) because you can forget safety.
Way to be safer if you have sex

* Must use a dental dam, plastic wrap or condom (rubber) cut to lie flat for mouth to vagina touch or mouth to anus touch.
* Must use hand gloves or finger gloves when touching body fluids.
How to use a condom (rubber):
* Use condom--must "latex" best name. No other names.
* Keep condoms in cool, dry place. No good in your wallet or car.
* Must use condom first then sex.
* NO let condom slip off during sex.
* Use water-based lubricant (K-Y Jelly, Astroglide). NO Vaseline or baby oil.
* No use broken/hole condom.
* Finish sex, throw condom out. No save.
Needles and Shots
* People use shots for drugs, tattoos and piercings.
* No share/give shots to other person. Use new shots.
* No use dirty shots.
* Dirty shots MUST clean (see below).
How to clean shots
* Wash shots with clean water 3 times.
* Use bleach (Clorox) 3 times for shots. Clean shots in bleach for 30 seconds (time).
* Again, clean shot with clean water.
Talk about it...
You don't need to be alone. Talking with counselors, teachers and health professionals about HIV very important. You can also call private CDC National STD and AIDS Hotline at 1-800-243-7889 (TTY). You may feel uncomfortable or funny, but that is ok. It is cool to talk. If you have any questions, ask. Many people happy to help!
Have HIV???
Get Tested!
Many places have FREE and anonymous HIV testing. Anonymous means you don't tell your name. Ask counselor what test answers mean. ALWAYS ask for interpreting services. Agencies are required by law to provide interpreting services.
If you have questions or need to talk, call the Commission on the Deaf and Hearing Impaired at (860) 561-0196 (V/TDD)

5 years ago I had warts, I was treated with some liquid applied to the warts they continued to grow and spread... The next 2 doctors did laser surgery to remove them. 1 year after the surgery, they grew back close to where the 1st ones were' so I was finally told it was hpv. I have had it for very long time, I contract it from my cheated boyfriend and I found out he was also infected and I end up the relationship between us. the warts was so embarrasses because it started spreading all over I have be dealing with this things for very long time the last treatment I take was About 2 years ago I applied natural treatment from Dr onokun herbal cure, a week after applying the treatment all the warts was gone. it's now 2 years and some months I don't have single wart or any symptoms of hpv. wow"" it's great, Dr onokun has finally cured me.
