HIV protection: Holding hands and routine kissing and hugging will not transmit the virus. Do not have sexual intercourse without a condom and talk with your doctor about prep (pre-exposure medication prophylaxis) to prevent HIV transmission if you plan on having a sexual relationship. Don't share needles, don't share blood.
