There are many risk factors for HIV depending on how medically or "unmedically" you want to look at it. All from genotypes, geographic location, lifestyle, work site risk, rape, etc. Here are the major high risk routes.

unprotected sex

IV drug use with shared needles

exposure to contaminated blood, blood products, or body fluids

infected pregnant women who are untreated (highest risk is at time of birth, otherwise it is very low and would most likely come from a problematic placental attachment or detachment that can cause bleeding within the uterus or placenta).
