Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Most school-age children who acquire HIV/AIDS acquire it from their mothers, either during gestation or childbirth. This is known as vertical transmission. Other modes of transmission, such as casual contact or vaccination, are extremely rare. Infected blood transfusions are also rare, particularly in developed countries where screening is common.
