Nombres alternativos

Infección por VIH sin síntomas

Prevención:

La persona puede disminuir el riesgo de transmitir la infección por VIH practicando comportamientos sexuales seguros, al igual que evitando el contacto con sangre contaminada (dejar de inyectarse drogas y no compartir agujas o jeringas, y el tamizaje apropiado de los hemoderivados).

Las personas que están en riesgo de infección por VIH deben someterse a pruebas regulares para garantizar el diagnóstico oportuno de esta infección, ya que hay disponibilidad de muchas opciones de tratamiento.
