Vaccinations et traitement des virus causant l'hépatite
Bien qu'il n'existe toujours pas de vaccin contre le virus de l'hépatite C, il est possible de se faire vacciner contre les
virus de l'hépatite A et de l'hépatite B. Et il existe des traitements contre l'hépatite B et l'hépatite C.
Sécurisexe
Les rapports sexuels sécuritaires réduisent l'exposition à des microbes pouvant nuire aux personnes séropositives,
y compris les virus de l'herpès, le VPH, le VHB et le VHC.
Examens médicaux réguliers
Les personnes vivant avec le VIH sont sujettes à certains cancers. Leurs examens médicaux devraient donc inclure
des dépistages appropriés.
