Married people are actually more likely to be tested positive for HIV than single people because of unfaithfulness. Both of you should be tested. It is important that young people marry a good faithful partner.” C = use a condom correctly every time you have sex Say, “Male and female condoms are very effective at preventing HIV transmission.
