How do you infected with HIV-aids beside contacting someone who already have it?

Answer 1

Blood or blood product transfusions could do it.

Answer 2

You have to do more than just contact someone with HIV for it to be transmitted. You won't get it by touching someone with AIDS.

Here are the most common ways:
1) Have unprotected sex with them
2) Share needles (and basically, blood) with them
3) Be born to an HIV-infected woman

In all of these cases the transmission rate is not always 100%. But in all of these cases there are steps that can be taken to reduce the risk. This is especially true in the case of sex, where protecting yourself using condoms and spermicidal lubricant can reduce the risk to near zero.

Answer 3

well you cant get it from breathing the same air or being in the same room but other than sex and blood you can get it from drug usage that is if your an addict who is on the hard stuff and cant afford a new hypo and certain bodily fluids can have the virus in it but can be killed rather easily by a cotton swab with alcohol. dont let aids and hiv rule your life.you can be friends with people that have it.dont push them away.they are like all of us all except they are going to be sick for a very long time and possibly die if those big corporate idiots would give up the cure. just like diabetes cancer and other big money diseases these huge pharmecutical companies do have a cure for most diseases but they are making billions from the meds they invent so why stop getting richer?they also think its a great way for population control just as war is. dang im poed

Answer 4

If you use a needle someone else with HIV has already used. This happens mostly in the case of drug addiction, where the addict cannot afford new needles. Or, HIV can also be derived from unclean blood donated to a blood bank. They do their best to screen the blood, but it isn't 100% fail-safe. Anyway, if any sort of infected HIV fluid comes in contact with a mucous membrane (eye(s), blood, or ingestion), you can get infected.

Answer 5

You have to have hiv first bfor aids.It is a blood desease.you have to have sex,cut yourself and hiv person has to literally has to bleed into you.HIV is so misunderstood.The lack of education is the biggest killer.Log onto any site about HIV,it's the virus that causes aids.A person can live a full life with the hiv virus and never contract aids.Times are different with meds for hiv.Have safe sex,but understand yor not gonna get it from the toilet seat,or even kissing an hiv infected person.IT IS A BLOOD DESEASE.I encourage you to surf the net.EDUCATE YOURSELF and pass it on

Answer 6

I'm not HIV positive nor do I have AIDS but you can get it thru using the same drug need, unprotected sex, if you have a cut and someone has AIDS and that person's blood is somehow shared with yours, the main things is to not use needles from someone else if you use drugs and don't have sex but if you have too then use protection!!!!!!!!!!!1

Answer 7

This site will tell you evey thing you need to know about getting infedcted with the HIV-aids Virus.

Answer 8

Blood transfusions have been known to spread AIDS. Also I remember one dentist in the 1980s spread AIDS to people that he cleaned their teeth, that is why they use thick heavy gloves for cleanings now and make you sign that you haven't got AIDS since the last time you came in for a check up.

Answer 9

Blood
Semen
Vaginal Fluid
Breast milk

You have to come into direct contact that allows one of those fluids into your blood stream. Shaking hands, sharing a restroom, etc. will NOT get you infected.

Answer 10

Using needles that were used on HIV patients... Getting injected with blood from an HIV person... or being born with it.

Answer 11

Through infected needles
Kissing ie. If someons has a cut in their mouth.
