Alicia Is Horrified to Hear That Her Date from Last

Alicia is horrified to hear that her date from last night carries the human immunodeficiency virus. While they did not engage in sex, they did share a quick kiss at the end of the evening. Besides discussing her concerns with her date should they go out again, what precautions should Alicia take?

A) She should try not to worry, since kissing has not been proven to be a successful way to transmit HIV, and follow up with her doctor or other health care provider if she has concerns or questions.
B) She should see her doctor only if she begins to have symptoms.
C) She should try to calm down, since stress helps transmit HIV.
D) She should see her doctor immediately, since kissing can cause the spread of HIV.
