~ WOMEN & AIDS

’ There are no risk groups, just risk ac-

tivities. These risk activites can affect anyone - women are no exception.

- Women have been affected by both HIV and AIDS since the beginning, although it has only been recently that we have been acknowledged to be at risk. We generally protect ourselves against pregnancy, but the pill and other contraceptives will not protect us against HIV - only safer sex will.

- How is HIV transmitted? HIV is passed directly from one person to another via blood, semen, or vaginal fluids. The virus can be transmitted from an infected mother to the child either during pregnancy or during birth-about 1/3 of the babies born to HIV mothers will be infected.

- Practice safer sex

Always usea latex condom, latex gloves, and dental dam -asmall square of latex rubber used to cover the vagina or anus during oral sex. |

- Talk to your partner Bringing up the subject of safer sex can be hard. Think about what you want to say ahead of time. Choose a time to talk before that first intimate moment. Remem- ber, starting to talkis the hardest part. Once you've both agreed to practice safer sex do something positive and fun - buy different brands - plana special day when If your partner doesn’t agree, then Just say NO to sex unless it’s SAFER SEX.
