How is HIV transmitted?
HIV is transmitted by exchange of bodily fluids from someone who is infected with HIV to someone who is not. It is transmitted through unprotected sexual intercourse (intercourse without condom/barrier) with an infected person, sharing needles for drug works with someone who is infected, Mother to child during labor, and during breastfeeding. Although a child carries thier mothers immune system for a year after being born, it is possible for the child to be uninfected if the child gets medication. The 5 main bodily fluid that can transmit the HIV virus are Blood, Semen, Pre-Cum, Vaginal Secretions, and Breast Milk. Although the HIV Virus is present in other bodily fluids, not enough is present to transmit the virus.
