PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -HIV is spread from the body fluids of an infected person, including blood, breast milk, semen and vaginal fluids. It is not spread by kisses, hugs or sharing food. It can also spread from a mother to her baby. HIV can be treated and prevented with antiretroviral therapy (ART).

Detailed explanation-2: -HIV is not passed on easily from one person to another. The virus does not spread through the air like cold and flu viruses. HIV lives in the blood and in some body fluids. To get HIV, 1 of these fluids from someone with HIV has to get into your blood.

Detailed explanation-3: -If both partners are HIV negative, then transmission cannot occur. This involves knowing the current HIV status of both you and your partner. This is not the same as knowing their status last year, or the last time either of you tested.
