Health care workers are in danger of contracting AIDS. To lower the risk, a health care worker should follow protocol when dealing with needles or other sharp instruments. She should also wear gloves, goggles, a mask and other protective gear when anticipating contact with blood or other bodily fluids. Caregivers in the home should also avoid contact with blood or bodily fluids of anyone who could have HIV/AIDS.
Avoid Sharing Personal Items
Avoid sharing items like toothbrushes and razors, as they can contain traces of blood. Do not use an item if you are not certain it is new or has been used only by you.
