| HIV/AIDS is definitely still a threat — especially among young people and women. According to the United Nations Population Fund a person between the ages of 15 and 24 is infected with HIV every 14 seconds. And 62 percent of people aged 15-24 living with HIV are girls and women.
So, how can you protect yourself against HIV? Aside from abstinence, which is 100 percent effective, using latex or female condoms, or other safer sex strategies such as mutual masturbation, greatly reduce the risk of transmission.
