What are the different ways one can contract hiv?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Infected body fluids: Body fluids such as blood, semen, rectal fluids, vaginal fluids, and breast milk from a person who has HIV can transmit HIV. These fluids must come in contact with a mucous membrane or damaged tissue or be directly injected into the bloodstream (from a needle or syringe) for transmission to occur. Mucous membranes are inside the anus, rectum, vagina, penis, and mouth.
