Mothers with HIV also can give the virus to their babies, before or when they're born or through breastfeeding.

It's possible to get HIV from a blood transfusionfrom an infected person, although it's very unlikely in the U.S. and Western Europe, where all medical blood is tested for HIV.

Health care workers have to take special precautions. They could get HIV after being poked with needles that have HIV-infected blood or after infected blood gets on an open cut or splashes into their eyes or inside their nose.

The best way to protect yourself from HIV is to avoid activities that put you at risk. Use latex condoms or a latex barrier whenever you have sex -- vaginal, anal, or oral. Don't inject drugs, and don't use someone else's needle if you do.

Some people who are at very high risk for an HIV infection use pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). They don't have HIV yet, but they take medicines every day to help lower their chance of getting infected.
