How can u get hiv

In AIDS, the immune system is severely weakened. People with AIDS get serious infections and health problems. HIV spreads when infected blood, semen "cum" or vaginal fluids enter the body. Because symptoms can be mild at first, people with HIV might not know they're infected. They can spread HIV to others without knowing it.

A person with HIV can pass the virus on to others even if they do not have any symptoms. People with HIV can pass the virus on more easily in the weeks following infection.

HIV is not passed on easily from one person to another. The virus does not spread through the air like cold and flu viruses. HIV lives in the blood and in some body fluids. For transmission to occur, something very unusual would have to happen. Skip directly to site content Skip directly to page options Skip directly to A-Z link.
