HIV IS TRANSMITTED THROUGH:

• Sexual transmission
It can happen when there is contact with infected sexuql fluids (rectal, genital, or oral
mucous membranes). Sexual transmission can be through male-female sex; male-male sex
or sex with males and femals.
• Mother to Child transmission
A mother can transmit HIV to her child during childbirth, pregnancy, and also through
breast feeding.

• Blood transmission
This happens through transfusion of contaminated blood. However, the risk of transmitting
HIV through blood is extremely low in developed countries, thanks to meticulous screejing
and precautions.
• Sharing Syringes
This happens through exposure of needles or other devices with HIV-infected blood. This is
true among people who inject illegal drugs, sharing and reusing syringes contaminated with
HIV-infected bloodm and unsafe tatoo needles.
HIV IS NOT TRANSMITTED THROUGH

• Kissing
• Casual contacts or handshakes
• Coughing if sneezing
• Sharing living quarters, swimming pool, or toilets with a person living with HIV
• Mosquitoes and bed bugs (HIV & AIDS Basics, NCCP, 2005)
