• Answer:

  AIDS (Acquired Immunodefficiency Syndrome) is a disease of Immunodefficiency category, caused by HIV-1 and HIV-2 viruses. (HIV = Human Immunodefficiency Virus). HIV-1 is most common in United States whereas HIV-2 is more common in other developing countries. There are many ways in which AIDS can be caused. I'm writing these in the order of occurrences. AIDS can be caused only from an infected person/animal (apes). 1. Sexual Transmission: (Most common) Homosexual (anal intercourse - most common in United states)as well as Heterosexual (man to woman sex) transmission (most common in developing countries) 2. Intravenous drug abuse: - its fairly common as addicts share Used Syringes again n again 3. Vertical transmission: baby born to an HIV+ (having AIDS) woman and breast feeding 4. Accidental needlestick: Risk per incident is 0.3% 5. Blood and Blood products: like transfusion of blood which is HIV+ WHAT FLUIDS CONTAIN HIV?: Blood Semen Breat milk REMEMBER: HIV virus cannot enter intact skin or mucosa.
