HIV is transmitted mainly through sexual contact, blood transfusion, mother to child during pregnancy and through sharing needles. HIV does not spread through skin contact, using same plates to eat, glass to drink, using same toilet or insect bite. HIV does not spread through touch, touch only spreads love and concern.
Next Steps
If you fear that you might have contracted any infection, meet a Specialist and have yourself tested. Unprotected Sexual contact has a risk of transmitting not only HIV but also Hepatitis B & C , Syphilis , Clamydia , Trichomoniasis, Candidiasis
Health Tips
1. Use protection while having sex. 2. Avoid having more than one sexual partner 3. Check your status for HIV and other STIs at least once a year
