Hi and thank you for asking us

Through the question and statement you gave on the above section, i completely understand your concern over this matter. For your information, there are a few ways for a person to get infected with HIV. The virus is transmitted through bodily fluids such as:

• blood
• semen
• vaginal and rectal fluids
• breast milk

Some of the ways HIV is transferred from person to person include:

• through vaginal or anal sex
• by sharing needles and syringes
• by sharing tattoo equipment without sterilization
• during pregnancy, labor, or delivery from a pregnant person to their baby
• during breastfeeding
• through exposure to the blood, semen, vaginal and rectal fluids, and breast milk of someone living with HIV, such as through a needle stick

It is important to know that HIV does NOT transfer through:

• skin-to-skin contact
• hugging, shaking hands, or kissing
• air or water
• sharing food or drinks, including drinking fountains
• saliva, tears, or sweat (unless mixed with the blood of a person with HIV)
• sharing a toilet, towels, or bedding
• mosquitoes or other insects

Enjoy a beautiful moment with your loved one safely.

If you feel that you are high risk of being infected, I suggest you to get a HIV test at the nearest clinic. If you have any more enquiries, you can click on the link (DoctorOnCall) and speak to our doctors in private and get the consultation you need on the phone. Thank you.
