Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is primarily transmitted through bodily fluids, including blood, saliva, urine, and breast milk. While it can be present in blood, transmission through blood transfusions or organ transplants is relatively rare. Most commonly, CMV spreads through close contact with infected individuals or through sexual contact. Therefore, while it is technically blood-borne, other routes of transmission are more prevalent.
