  • HIV is transmitted (spread) only in certain body fluids from a person who has HIV: 

Majority Pathways-

  • Unprotected sex (Vaginal, Anal, Oral if there is cuts, bleeding gums, ulcer in mouth otherwise oral sex is safe)
  • Blood Transfusion (blood or blood products during surgeries or traumas or whenever body requires blood)
  • Mother to Baby (Breast feeding, During delivery or in pregnancy)
  • Sharing needles or through injectables (mostly drug addicted-heroin, cocaine)

Minority Pathways-

  • Amniotic Fluid
  • Cerebrospinal Fluid
  • Synovial Fluid
