A member asked:
Can an hiv positive child aged 3 years infect other children when he plays with them?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not easily: Transmission of HIV is primarily via sexual intercourse and by blood transfusions. It is highly unlikely that a 3 year old with HIV can transmit the virus to other kids. However it is always good to practice universal precautions if the child with HIV has a major bleeding incident.
