Introduction
Anyone can get HIV if he/she has direct contact with the blood, sperm or vaginal fluid of someone who is already infected with HIV and breast milk in the case of babies with infected mothers.
This can happen in the following ways:
• having unprotected sexual intercourse with someone who is infected with HIV.
• an infected pregnant mother passing it on to the baby either:
(i) before birth
(ii) during birth
(iii) breastfeeding after three months
• sharing skin piercing instruments with an infected person such as injections, razor blades
and hair cutting instruments.
