A nurse is planning teaching for a client who has a new diagnosis of HIV. Which of the following information should the nurse include about preventing the spread of the infection?

A. Use condoms with a petroleum-based lubricant: Petroleum-based lubricants can degrade latex condoms, increasing the risk of breakage and HIV transmission. Water- or silicone-based lubricants are recommended to preserve condom integrity. B. Buy disposable dishes for daily use: HIV is not transmitted through casual contact such as sharing dishes or eating utensils. This practice is unnecessary and may contribute to stigma and isolation for individuals living with HIV. C. Clean blood-contaminated surfaces with bleach: Bleach is effective in inactivating HIV on surfaces. A solution of 1:10 bleach to water is recommended for cleaning any area contaminated with blood or body fluids to reduce transmission risk. D. Wash soiled clothes in cold water: Cold water is less effective at killing pathogens. Hot water and standard laundry detergent are recommended for properly cleaning clothing contaminated with blood or body fluids.
