Definition
- Infection with HIV is the cause of AIDS. A person becomes infected with HIV when HIV-contaminated blood, semen, vaginal secretions, or breast milk enters his or her bloodstream. HIV transmission has occurred during blood transfusions, occupational and accidental exposure, maternal-child transmission, sharing of drug injection syringes or needles, and unprotected sexual intercourse.
