Answer 1

Check out the links below!


Make sure to scroll down to TRANSMISSION

This is a great place to get info - and you have a source other than "someone told me this on Yahoo!Answers"!!!!

Teacher's like that kind of background!


BY THE WAY - I have never heard of your last one... years of drugs (without a needle)

Did you think about BLOOD TRANSFUSSIONS WITH TAINTED BLOOD? (THIS ONE IS MORE THAN HIGHLY UNLIKELY - SEEING AS ALL OF THE BLOOD TRANSFUSED IS CHECKED THESE DAYS)

However, an EXAMPLE of aquiring AIDS through a blood transfusion case was diagnosed with AIDS on December 17, 1984... RYAN WHITE - a young boy who got a blood transfusion because of a disease he had called hemophilia - problems with his body controlling bleeding - and aquired the disease that way! There was a TON of information released at that time regarding the disease!

Answer 2

Wow, I read some of the responses and it is amazing how people in first world countries can be so massively misinformed.

Btw, you cannot get AIDS from doing drugs, unless you swap fluids with an infected person. Doing drugs for years and years will make you ill, but it won't give you AIDS.

HIV is contracted through direct contact of a mucous membrane or bloodstream with a bodily fluid containing HIV, like blood, semen, vaginal fluid, preseminal fluid, and even breast milk.

There is a small amount of HIV in the saliva of an infected person, but not enough to give you AIDS.

Ways you can contract it are anal, vaginal or oral sex, blood transfusions, contaminated needles, fluid exchange between mother and baby during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or other exposure to one of the above bodily fluids.

Basically what I said originally. Swapping fluids.

Answer 3

Sharing needles, blood transfusion, unsafe sex, transmission during childbirth (to the child), but not through heredity.

Answer 4

HIV is transmitted through semen, pre ejaculate, blood, breast milk, & vaginal secretions. HIV transmittion is not common from blood transfusions anymore. sometimes, a baby will contract it when they are being born, but more often a mother will transmit it through breast milk.
HIV/AIDS is not "hereditary" though. Just because your mom has is doesn't necessarily mean she'll pass it on. It's only transmitted through the fluids i mentioned above, not through any time of gene, like other hereditary diseases.

Answer 5

a baby can get it from the mother if she was infected when conceived,but not sure if thats classed as heredity or not
