A member asked:
Hiv must be caused by transmission and transmission only. is that right?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes.: Hiv (the virus that causes aids) is spread from person to person by sharing needles or by exchange of body fluids in intimate acts like oral/vaginal/anal intercourse. Hiv does not arise 'spontaneously' and is acquired by interactions with other people who are already infected with hiv. Do not share needles and always use a latex condom with spermicide to diminish risk of transmission.
