The two most effective things you can do to prevent contracting HIV are to *avoid high-risk behavior* and *wear a prophylactic.* [i]]
A prophylactic (pro-full-ACK-tik) is something that *prevents* or *protects* you from illness. [47] To avoid HIV, this is traditionally a *condom*, although in recent years PrEP and PEP medication have become effective and widely available as oral medication prophylactics for HIV. [c], [d]
For SARS-CoV-2, the most reliable prophylactic we have is a *properly-fitted, respirator-grade mask.* [40], [41], [42], [43]”
Throughout the text, keywords are emphasized in Long Covid awareness teal and AIDS awareness red.
