Which fluids can transmit the HIV virus?
10
HIV transmission fluids

• HIV can be transmitted via blood, vaginal
  secretions, semen, and breast milk.
• HIV cannot be transmitted when these fluids are
  absent, i.e., while sharing eating utensils,
  holding hands, etc.
• HIV dies as soon as it comes into contact with
  the air, however all of the blood in a syringe
  and blood in large quantities is not always
  contacted by air, so this remains a risk of
  transmission.

they become infected with HIV.

lives

• These medications are helping people live longer,
  healthier lives.
