Use condom correctly and every time during pregnancy, 2. Use only blood tested from a licensed blood bank, 3. Use new or disposable needles and syringes every time, 4. Get HIV tested during pregnancy and get appropriate treatment in case of being HIV positive. Khichi has said that caution is its cure. This disease does not spread through shaking hands, eating together, coughing, sneezing, or through air or mosquito bites. The main reason for the spread of this disease is that there are four ways for the HIV virus to reach from one person to another. Number one is unprotected sexual contact with an HIV infected person; the second reason is re-use of HIV infected syringes and needles; the third reason is transfusion of HIV infected blood; the fourth reason is the transmission of HIV infected blood from a pregnant mother to her child.
