How is AIDS spread ?
It is really very difficult to infect
a person with HIV! The virus can only
survive in body fluid. HIV can only be
transmitted by allowing infected body
fluid to enter the bloodstream.
The virus has not been shown to be
transmitted by skin contact or in the
droplets from coughs or sneezes.
Sexual intercourse with penetration
by the penis of the vagina or rectum
will allow transmission of the virus.
It is clear that such intimate contact
does allow infected body fluid into the
bloodstream even if no bleeding is
apparent at the time.
