how is HIV spread sexually?


Question:
which fluid transmits it?HIV is present in the blood.if the sexual intercourse doesnt not result in any bleeding anywhere,then how wil it pass?

Answers:
Semen and other bodily fluids besides blood do contain HIV in infected individuals. These include but are not limited to: bulbourethral secretions (pre-***), semen, vaginal secretions, and breast milk. In order to be infected the virus must enter the blood but it can do this easily through microscopic tears in the mucous membranes in contact with the infected fluid. Also there is a specific receptor in the rectal epithelia that HIV binds to and enters the system.
