I know that a person can get infected by AIDS through sexual intercourse, provided if other person is also infected by AIDS. But I want to know that how that other person gets infected by AIDS without any intercourse?

1) sharing needles (like people doing drugs together) or accidental needle stick (like a hospital worker).
2) accidental blood transfusion...the blood just happened to have the hiv virus without the donor's knowledge. (people don't know their hiv positive immediately.)
3) mom had hiv/aids and was pregnant...so the fetus could get infected.
(fyi- u cannot get it from becoming in contact with hiv-infected person's saliva, tears, or sweat. u also cannot get it from bugs, toilet seats, phones, or drinking fountains.)

Either by sharing needles or an infected bloodtransfusion.

Kimberly Bergalis(it was a big story in the news) was infected by a dentist that gave it to her intentionally.
