HIV is spread mainly through sexual contact. There are different forms of sexual contact: vaginal intercourse, anal intercourse, and oral sex. All have a high risk of infection if done with an HIV-positive person. During vaginal sex, the virus can be passed through tiny cuts or sores in a woman’s vagina or on a man’s penis. There is a big risk of becoming infected with HIV/AIDS when having anal sex because the skin of the anus is very soft and there are no body fluids to ease (lubricate) penetration. This means anal intercourse is likely to tear the anus, which would increase the chances of HIV transmission. Having oral sex can also put a person at risk of HIV infection if they have small cuts or sores in their mouth and they come into contact with any infected body fluid (such as semen or vaginal fluids). The virus can pass through the cuts or sores and into the person’s blood stream, infecting them. The risk of transmission of HIV infection through oral sex is much less than through vaginal or anal sex.
The following are additional body fluids that may transmit the virus that health care workers may come into contact with: Fluid around the brain and spinal cord/Fluid surrounding bone joints/Fluid surrounding an unborn baby. Contact with saliva, sweat, and tears has not been medically proven to cause the transmission of HIV. HIV is located in the blood as well as other body fluids, such as semen and vaginal fluids. The HIV virus dies quickly once outside the body. For one person to infect another there must be an exchange of body fluids. The virus can only enter the body through direct contact with the bloodstream via vagina, penis, oral, rectal, or mucous membranes. To become infected with HIV you must get a large amount of the virus in your body. Although saliva contains HIV, the amount is so small that it cannot cause HIV infection. Kissing could transmit HIV only if both partners had large open sores in their mouths or severely bleeding gums.

Kissing could transmit HIV only if both partners had large open sores in their mouths or severely bleeding gums. HIV is unable to live or reproduce outside of the body. This means that HIV cannot be transmitted through spitting, sneezing, or sharing glasses, cutlery, or musical instruments. You also can’t be infected in a swimming pool or shower, or by sharing washing facilities or toilet seats.

You also can’t be infected in a swimming pool or shower, or by sharing washing facilities or toilet seats. Studies conducted by many researchers have shown no evidence of HIV transmission through insect bites, even in areas where there are many cases of HIV and AIDS and large populations of insects such as mosquitoes.

Condoms are highly effective at preventing HIV transmission. Condoms are effective at preventing HIV during both vaginal and anal sex, and can help to reduce the risk during oral sex. There are extremely rare cases of HIV being transmitted via deep “French” kissing, but in each case infected blood was exchanged due to bleeding gums or sores in the mouth.
