There are many reasons teens should know about HIV. HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is the virus that causes a person to develop AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome.) HIV is transmitted through contact with infected blood, semen, vaginal fluid or breast milk. Teens represent a "high-risk" population for STD (sexually transmitted disease). HIV is no exception. That fastest growing group of infected people in the United States are under 25 years old. If teens learn how to effectively avoid HIV infection when they are younger and prior to exposure, it is more likely that they will stay HIV negative.
Each year an estimated 8,000 pregnant American women are infected with HIV, the human immunodeficiency virus that causes acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS ).
In the US today the fastest growing population of people contracting HIV is the teenage population. It is thought that this is because they are not using potection during sexual activity to prevent the spread of disease
33.2 million(the most approximate estimate as of now)

HIV-positive means you are infected with the human immunodeficiency virus. HIV-negative means that you are not infected with the HIV.
In order to contract HIV from blood, it must be infected with the virus. Otherwise, you will not contract HIV.

The chances of getting infected with HIV by ingestion of HIV-infected blood is very small.
