Quizplus · Accepted Answer

HIV is transmitted through intimate contact with an infected person's body fluids, such as blood, semen, vaginal secretions, or breast milk. This can occur during sexual intercourse, sharing needles or syringes, from mother to child during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding, or through exposure to blood or other fluids in healthcare settings. HIV is not spread through casual contact, such as sharing eating utensils or clothes, or through airborne droplets.
