Question

Which of the following is an example of how HIV can be transmitted from one person to another?

Answer 1

Answer: B: Contact between infected saliva and an open wound.

Explanation: It gets in your blood stream. For example, sharing needles.

Answer 2

Answer: Contact between infected saliva and an open wound.

Explanation: This is because the virus doesn’t spread in air or water, or through casual contact.

HIV is transmitted through bodily fluids that include:

• blood

• semen

• vaginal fluids

• rectal fluids

• breast milk

An open wound contains blood and therefore can be infected when in contact with an infected saliva.

I hope you're clear on this Isabella.
