Protect Yourself
HIV is transmitted through an exchange of certain body fluids - blood, vaginal secretions, semen, pre-ejaculation and breast milk.
Most people get HIV through:
- Unprotected sex (vaginal, anal or oral) with an infected person.
- Sharing drug needles or syringes (shooting drugs) with an infected person.
- Pregnancy, childbirth or breast feeding when the mother is HIV-positive.
- Can I get HIV from casual contact with someone who is infected?
- What are ways that I can reduce my risk of becoming infected?
- What’s the 411 on condoms?
