How can you avoid getting HIV positive?

well i think its best to answer this question in a list from most important to least:
1.wear a condom (if you are a guy... and if you aren't make sure he wears one!). By wearing a condom you significantly reduce the chances of having hiv. Although not 100% effective, it is highly unlikely you will be infected.
1.= do not share needles.
2. If someone is bleeding, avoid contact with their blood.
3. If you are not going to wear a condom (i.e. married) make sure your partner takes the test before you have intercourse.
4. avoid contact from some person's cut to yours.
5. avoid anal sex (because condoms break easier.)

Thats all i could come up with. I hope that answers your question to some degee. cheers.

dont have unprotected sex..de-de-deeeee

chop your weiner off is a good start

Avoid the exchange of bodily fluids through sexual activity, blood transfusions, any contact with others' fluids to an open wound.

Don't have unprotected sex, or sex with someone you don't know.

Don't use needles.

Don't touch blood.

Use condoms.But there is no 100 % safe way.Watch who you sleep with.Avoid hookers :-)

Dont have sex, dont shoot up, what ever the reason is your asking this question for, stop doing it... :)

no unprotected sex (use condoms)
no drugs (needles)
no exchanging salivas
no touching of bleeding cuts
no blood transfusions

Always protect yourself.

Keep your pants on

It is very risky in our society today. My answer is not to be sexually active at all. And to protect yourself if you work in any hospitals, nursing homes or private homes practicing any patient care.
