HIV is spread mainly through sexual contactIn vaginal sex, HIV can be passed through tiny nicks or sores in a woman's vagina or on the man's penis. There is a serious risk of becoming infected with HIV/AIDS as a result of anal sex. The skin around the anus is easily damaged. This means anal intercourse is likely to tear the anus which would increase the chances of HIV transmission. Having oral sex is risky for the same reasons. Any have small cuts or sores in the mouth may allow entry into the system from any infected body fluids (such as semen or vaginal fluids). The chance of transmission of HIV infection through oral sex is far lower than through vaginal or anal sex, even a lower risk activity can become an important way for people to get infected.HIV can be transmitted between injecting drug users if they share needles without properly sterilising the injecting equipment. HIV can be transmitted from pregnant mother to child during child birth and through breast Pregnant women need to know that the risk of passing HIV to their infant can be greatly reduced by: Treatment with specific medicines during pregnancy. Special care during pregnancy and delivery.
Tattoos and piercing may put you at risk of HIV infection, which can be transmitted through badly sterilised needles and blood.

People place themselves at risk for HIV by engaging in activities that give HIV a direct route into the body (unprotected sex, neddle sharing, ect.)

The yeast infection cause HIV?
Yeast infections do not cause HIV. At least not by themselves. They may however make you more susceptible to it if exposed; but you would still need to actually be exposed to the HIV to get the HIV; the yeast infection would not be the cause of it. When your body is exposed to HIV it might not enter the bloodstream, it may get washed away. With a yeast infection that has open sores, these open sores are extra areas where the HIV could more easily enter the body. Also note that once you have HIV; if your immune system begins to shut down you would become more susceptible to yeast infections because your body would have a harder time fighting them. So HIV can lead to more yeast infections and yeast infections can help facilitate the exposure of HIV; but neither directly causes the other.
