Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
The most effective way to prevent transmission of HIV is to prevent exchange of body fluids, such as semen, blood, and vaginal secretions. This can be achieved by practicing safe sex, using condoms, avoiding sharing needles, and getting tested for HIV regularly. Isolating infected people or avoiding gay men and lesbians is discriminatory and not an effective public health strategy. Similarly, reducing sexual activity among specific populations is not a sustainable or realistic approach to preventing transmission of HIV.
