HIV is transmitted through direct contact of a mucous membrane with a bodily fluid containing HIV, such as blood, semen, vaginal fluid, preseminal fluid or breast milk. This transmission can come in the form of: penetrative (anal or vaginal) sex; oral sex; blood transfusion; contaminated needles; exchange between mother and infant during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding; or other exposure to one of the above bodily fluids.

Infection due to HIV occurs through:
1. Unprotected sexual intercourse with an infected partner. Regular and consistent use of condoms during sexual intercourse means protected sex and minimizes the chances of getting HIV and other sexually transmitted infections.
2. Transfusion of infected blood or blood products.
3. Use of infected needles as in injecting drug use or in health care settings.
4. From mother to child.
The A, B, C of HIV prevention are:
A= Abstinence
B= Being faithful to one single partner and
C= Consistent and correct use of condoms.
Stay Safe.

Unprotected sexual contact.
Using unsterilized needles.
Getting a blood transfusion (although that is VERY uncommon now..)

Body fluid transmission. Blood, spit, tears, etc... Any wet spot on them touches a wet spot on you and there is a CHANCE that it can be contracted.
