For aids to spread through a community what would it take?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sexual or blood : Hiv/aids is spread through sexual contact or through blood contamination (as in transfusion or dirty needles). So for it to spread through a community, the inhabitants must be exposed in these ways to the virus. It doesn't spread like the flu or in the water supply.
