Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cerebrospinal fluid contains the highest number of infectious HIV particles per milliliter of fluid from infected individuals. This is because the HIV virus can cross the blood-brain barrier and infect cells in the central nervous system, increasing the viral load in cerebrospinal fluid. Other fluids like breast milk, semen, and vaginal-cervical fluid also have high levels of infectious HIV due to the presence of infected immune cells in those fluids. Saliva and tears contain lower amounts of infectious HIV.
