This transmission can come in the form of: penetrative (anal or vaginal) sex; oral sex; blood transfusion; contaminated needles; exchange between mother and infant during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding; or other exposure to one of the above bodily fluids.

Your mother has HIV/AIDS

That is pretty much it. Don't get it!

Infection due to HIV occurs through:
1. Unprotected sexual intercourse with an infected partner. Regular and consistent use of condoms during sexual intercourse means protected sex and minimizes the chances of getting HIV and other sexually transmitted infections.
2. Transfusion of infected blood or blood products.
3. Use of infected needles as in injecting drug use or in health care settings.
4. From mother to child.

The A, B, C of HIV prevention are:
A= Abstinence
B= Being faithful to one single partner and
C= Consistent and correct use of condoms.

Stay Safe.
