Question

The nurse is counseling a client infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) regarding prevention of HIV transmission. Which statement by the client indicates the nurse needs to follow up?

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer of this question is option 2

Explanation:

HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus and this virus is responsible for causing AIDS. This virus mainly spread through body fluid transfer so sexual contact is one of the main ways by which this virus can spread in individuals.

So to prevent the spread of this disease sexual contact should not occur without any protection because it can spread from that infected person to his partner during intercourse. Therefore the second statement is false because in that statement the patient is saying he can do sex without protection or barrier.
