The best protection against contracting HIV/AIDS while traveling is to abstain from intimate relations or use protection, stay away from bodily fluids, and use only new needles if it is necessary for you get an injection. In under-developed countries screening of blood donations is not guaranteed so getting an infusion in an underdeveloped country is considered high risk. HIV causes AIDS especially if left untreated. There is no known cure or vaccine for HIV or AIDS but medicines are available that will prolong life for someone infected.
