A member asked:
Can hiv be transmitted through water?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The HIV virus is spread by blood to blood contact such as an IV drug abuser sharing a needle with another and by unprotected sexual contact. It can also be spread from mother to child during birth or breast feeding. It is not spread through ingesting water.
