How you get aids?

HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, is transmitted through contact with infected blood, semen, vaginal fluids, rectal fluids, and breast milk. It is not transmitted through saliva, sweat, or tears.

The most common way to get HIV is through unprotected sex with someone who is infected with the virus. HIV can also be transmitted through sharing needles or other drug paraphernalia with someone who is infected. Less commonly, HIV can be transmitted from an infected mother to her baby during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding.

There is no cure for HIV, but there are effective treatments that can help people with the virus live long, healthy lives. These treatments are called antiretroviral therapy (ART). ART works by stopping the virus from multiplying in the body. This can help to improve the immune system and prevent or delay the development of AIDS.

If you think you may have been exposed to HIV, it is important to get tested as soon as possible. Early diagnosis and treatment can help to improve your chances of a long, healthy life.
