Can you get AIDS by having sex? What are the ways you can get them?

Answer 1

You can get HIV by having sex with someone who has HIV/AIDS, but you can NOT get AIDS. AIDS develops AFTER a person has contracted HIV.

There are three main transmission routes for HIV:
1. Sexual transmission (vaginal, oral, or anal sex)
2. Blood to blood transmission (blood transfusions, needle/syringe sharing, accidental needle sticks, etc.)
3. Mother to child transmission (this can happen during the pregnancy, during birth, or while breastfeeding)

Answer 2

HIVand AIDS is spread by sexual contact with an infected person, by sharing needles and/or syringes (primarily for drug injection) with someone who is infected, or, less commonly (and now very rarely in countries where blood is screened for HIV antibodies), through transfusions of infected blood or blood clotting factors. Babies born to HIV-infected women may become infected before or during birth or through breast-feeding after birth.

In the health care setting, workers have been infected with HIV after being stuck with needles containing HIV-infected blood or, less frequently, after infected blood gets into a worker’s open cut or a mucous membrane (for example, the eyes or inside of the nose). There has been only one instance of patients being infected by a health care worker in the United States; this involved HIV transmission from one infected dentist to six patients. Investigations have been completed involving more than 22,000 patients of 63 HIV-infected physicians, surgeons, and dentists, and no other cases of this type of transmission have been identified in the United States.

Some people fear that HIV might be transmitted in other ways; however, no scientific evidence to support any of these fears has been found. If HIV were being transmitted through other routes (such as through air, water, or insects), the pattern of reported AIDS cases would be much different from what has been observed. For example, if mosquitoes could transmit HIV infection, many more young children and preadolescents would have been diagnosed with AIDS.

Answer 3

Instead of asking questions like that here, do some research, you should really know how a person can contract the AIDS virus. There are 1000's of sites dedicated to educating the public on HIV/AIDS. I"m sure you can go to your local health department and receive information. Educate yourself, it could save your life.

Answer 4

Sexual intercourse is the primary way you can contract AIDS. Blood transfusion and transfer of any bodily fluids is another way. Be very cautious around AIDS patients.

Answer 5

Unprotected sex with an infected person, sharing tainted needles for drug use if one person is infected, transfusions with tainted blood. Babies can be born with it if the mother has the virus.
