Practicing safe sex is a great way to protect yourself from contracting the virus.. As well as, getting yourself tested.. Whether you decide on safe sex or no sex, this is better than a positive test result.. Please remember that although there are people out there living with the HIV/ AIDS, some people do lose their fight against AIDS.. Always Protect yourself..
