Paths of Infection
HIV can be transmitted through:

  • Unprotected vaginal, anal and oral sex.
  • Direct blood contact, which may occur through needle sharing, transfusions, accidents in health care settings, or certain blood products.
  • Mother to baby; before or during birth or through breast milk.

Infectious Fluids
HIV can be transmitted from an infected person to another through:
  • Blood
  • Semen (including pre-seminal fluid)
  • Vaginal secretions
  • HIV can also be transmitted through breast milk-expressed through feeding, in limited circumstances where there is exposure to large quantities.

Non-Infectious Fluids
Saliva-is NOT considered to be infectious. The only time saliva would pose a risk would be if it had blood present in it. There are no documented cases of HIV transmission through saliva. There is a protein in the mouth that attaches itself to the surface of blood cells and blocks infection by HIV that appears to be present in the mucous membrane in the mouth at a level sufficient enough to reduce the concentration of HIV in saliva to non-infectious levels.

Urine and Tears-are NOT considered infectious. While HIV has been found in urine and tears, it is not concentrated in an amount sufficient for transmission.

Sweat, Feces, Vomit-are NOT considered infectious. HIV has never been found in these materials. The only possible risk would be if there was blood present.
