Primary Prevention

To prevent and control infection with the Giardia parasite, it is important to:

  • Practice good handwashing and hygiene
  • Avoid water (drinking or recreational) that may be contaminated
  • Avoid eating food that may be contaminated
  • Safe sexual practices, especially regarding anal sex, may decrease the risk of contracting or spreading giardiasis
