HIV or AIDS is incurable. The infection, once transmitted, cannot be reversed, though advanced medical treatments do help to delay progression of the disease. Adequate protection is therefore of utmost importance. One important way to ensure this is to always practice safe, or protected, sex.
Safe sex can also prevent other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) – such as syphilis, chlamydia and trichomonal infections – that cause unnecessary distress and sometimes lead to infertility or neurological complications. Finally, it can help to avoid the stress of an unwanted pregnancy.
