Can people protect themselves from aids?

Yes, people can protect themselves from HIV/AIDS through various preventive measures. These include practicing safe sex by using condoms, taking pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) medication if at high risk, and ensuring regular testing and treatment for sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
