MODE OF TRANSMISSION:-
Sex without a condom
Having unprotected sex (sex without a condom) with someone who has HIV, particularly unprotected vaginal sex and anal sex.
Sharing injecting equipmentSharing needles, syringes or other equipment used to prepare and inject drugs with someone who has HIV.
Passed from mother-to-baby during pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeedingA mother infected with HIV can pass the virus to her baby via her blood during pregnancy and birth, and through her breast milk when breastfeeding.
Contaminated blood transfusions and organ/tissue transplantsReceiving blood transfusions, blood products, or organ/tissue transplants that are contaminated with HIV. This risk is extremely small because most countries test blood products for HIV first.
If adequate safety practices are not in place, healthcare workers can also be at risk of HIV from cuts made by a needle or sharp object (needlestick injury) with infected blood on it. However, the risk of ‘occupational exposure’, is very low in most countries.
If you think you have put yourself at risk of HIV, the only way to find out if you have HIV is to have an HIV test.
