Step 1
Get to know your partner. Spend hours, days, weeks, months or even years talking with him and meeting his friends and family.
-
Step 2
Look at his use of alcohol and drugs. Has he ever gotten drunk or high and then had sex with someone? Used an intravenous needle that someone else used? Such acts put your partner at a higher risk of infection.
-
Step 3
Look for signs of bad judgment or promiscuity in his sexual history.
-
Step 4
Ask him to make a commitment not to have sex with anyone else. If he declines, you are at a higher risk to come in contact with the AIDS virus.
-
Step 5
Ask him to make a commitment not to share intravenous needles with anyone else. This may mean entering drug treatment, learning to properly clean needles before using them and/or using only new needles.
