HIV is spread through:

  • Sexual contact with an HIV-infected person, especially intercourse or anal sex
  • Transfer of HIV from a mother to child during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding
  • A prick from an HIV-contaminated needle
  • A blood transfusion with HIV-infected blood (rare today, due to testing of all donated blood for HIV infection beginning in 1985)
