The correct answer is option 4 - "1 only".

Explanation:

- Option 1 states that the use of condoms is a method of prevention from HIV infection. This is correct as condoms provide a barrier to prevent the transmission of the virus during sexual activity.

- Option 2 states that the use of intra-uterine devices like Copper-T is a method of prevention from HIV infection. This is incorrect as intra-uterine devices are used for contraception and do not provide any protection against HIV.

- Option 3 states that staying away from an HIV-infected person is a method of prevention from HIV infection. This is not entirely accurate as HIV cannot be transmitted through casual contact. However, it is important to take precautions and practice safe behaviors in order to prevent transmission.

- Option 4 states that using a face mask when in the company of an HIV-infected person is a method of prevention from HIV infection. This is incorrect as HIV is not transmitted through respiratory droplets like viruses such as COVID-19.

Therefore, the correct answer is 1, which means that the use of condoms is the only method of prevention from HIV infection among the given options.
