What are 6 ways to prevent HIV?

For my health class I need to list 6 ways to prevent HIV transmission.

Here are six ways:
Do not have unprotected sex
Do not share or reuse needles of any kind
Do not get in contact with a person with HIV's urine
Here is where they get sort of stupid
Do not drink a gallon of a person infected's saliva.
Do not transfer blood with an HIV patient
And finally, Do not touch an open wound on a HIV patient

use condoms
dont share needles
dont touch someones blood
um...try looking on google i cant think of any more

don't have sex with strangers

Abstinence
Protection-Condoms
Education
Avoidance of using unclean needles/drug use
Monogamy
Prevention of Mother to child transmission-antiretroviral prophylaxis

Dont share toothbrushes
Dont share razors
other than the others answers above I cant think of any more

use barriers (condoms/dental dams) for oral, anal, and vaginal sex

never share needles or drug related equipment ('works')

the use of antiretrovirals to reduce the risk of HIV transmission from mother to child

post-exposure prophylaxis

getting screened and treated for STIs (other than HIV) as they can have no symptoms and greatly increase the likelihood of a person becoming HIV positive should they be exposed

taking HAART and reducing a person's viral load to undetectable greatly reduces (but does NOT eliminate) the risk of transmitting HIV sexually

abstinence

pre-exposure prophylaxis
