How does a person become infected by AIDS?

Answer 1

Sex: exchanging semen, vaginal fluid or blood with an infected person. Drugs: sharing a needle with an infected person Milk: a baby in the womb if the mother is HIV + Blood: blood transfusion with infected blood (very rare nowadays)

Answer 2

The usual methods of HIV transmission are: unprotected sex (anal intercourse being the most risky), blood transfusion, and the sharing intravenous needles. In general, blood and semen can carry the virus.

Answer 3

AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) is a diagnosis and not a disease. HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is the virus that causes someone to develop AIDS.

HIV is transmitted through contact with infected blood, semen, vaginal fluid and/or breast milk.

Answer 4

A person can become infected with AIDS through one of three ways.

1. They have sex with an infected person, and get HIV, which eventually leads to AIDS.

2. They get it from their mother. It passes along through the blood, and a HIV infected mother could have her baby infected with HIV, which, again, leads to AIDS.

3. Sharing a needle (I.E. drugs, Diabetes shots, etc.) with a person who has AIDS. They have the HIV virus, which turns into AIDS after some time.
