Protect yourself.

How do I put on a condom?

Simply put, avoid behavior that puts you, or others, at risk.

Don’t have sex. Abstaining from sex is one way to protect yourself and others from HIV.
If you have sex, always use protection. Condoms and dental dams will do the trick but don’t use Vaseline with them. Use only water based lubricants.
Stop using drugs.. If you can’t stop; get help at findtreatment.samhsa.gov or call 2-1-1 Idaho CareLine.
If you use injection drugs, use a clean needle. Never share drug paraphernalia such as needles, cookers, water glasses or cotton balls. Needle exchanges allow users to swap used needles for new ones.
Go to a professional for tattoos and piercings. Make sure they sterilize equipment between customers or use disposable needles and ink dispensers. Avoid piercing guns because they can’t be properly sterilized. Always ask your tattoo artist how they sterilize their tattoo equipment.
Pregnancy. If you’re pregnant and HIV positive, or think you’ve been exposed to HIV, see your doctor immediately. There are drugs a mother can take to reduce the chance of passing on HIV to her unborn child.
While all this may seem like common sense, common sense doesn’t always rule when you’re under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol. Stay cool. And before you do the wrong thing, think about what you have to lose.

You can help stop the spread of HIV by getting tested and by:

Asking about the sexual history of your sex partner(s) – do they have HIV, and/or another sexually transmitted disease (STD).
Coming up with a plan to let your past and present sex and needle-sharing partners and spouse know they are at risk so they can get tested. A Health Department counselor can help you with this plan.
Informing partners of your HIV status.
Encouraging friends, family and loved ones to learn more about getting tested for HIV.
