What is HIV cause of or what causes hiv?
HIV is a virus that can only be transmitted in a few ways: by blood, through unprotected sex (vaginal secretions and semen), through breast milk, and through intravenous drug usage (by sharing needles with others using intravenous drugs). It's not airborne, you can't get it by sharing a drink with someone who has it or kissing someone who has it, you cant get it through sweat or tears or anything like that. Those are all some common misconceptions. It is kind of unsure exactly how this virus started or how the first person became exposed. The most acceptable theory to date is that it originated in Chimpanzee's and that the virus was introduced to humans through blood to blood contact.
