Transmission+of+AIDS

=How is AIDS transmitted?= ==There are lots of ways that AIDS can be transmitted. Unprotected sex, kissing, breastfeeding and sharing drug needles are all examples of ways to be infected. I will also talk about if AIDS can be transmitted through different types of sex. I will deal with the big question- Can AIDS be transmitted through saliva. You can also get AIDS from sharing drug needles and drinking the breast milk of a lady that has AIDS.== = = = = =Different types of sex?= ==There are different types of sex, oral sex is when a person kisses, licks or sucks on another person’s sexual organ. If the fluid from the person’s sexual organ gets into another persons mouth and she/he swallows it then she/he risks getting AIDS. Anal sex is when the penis goes into the anus of a person. AIDS can’t be transmitted like this because the anus isn’t connected to the bloodstream and the sperm that goes into the anus will not enter the bloodstream of the person. Unprotected normal sex (penis into vagina) is also possible to spread AIDS. So to be safe, use a condom! The reason you can get AIDS from the fluid from the sexual organ is because there is always a small amount of blood in it and if it gets into another person bloodstream then they have the risk of getting infected.== = = = = =Through Kissing?= ==Saliva is a big question in AIDS and the answer is no, AIDS can't be transmitted through kissing. But if there is blood in the saliva then the answer is yes, it’s possible. If there is blood in the saliva or any type of sperm or liquid from a vagina then it’s possible, but only the saliva is not possible.==

=Breast milk?= ==AIDS can also be transmitted through the breast milk of a pregnant woman. A woman's breast are connected the bloodstream and the blood is in the breast milk, and that’s why many children get AIDS when they get breast fed from their mother if the mother has AIDS.==

=Drugs?= ==If a person that does drugs shares their needle with another person then that person can get AIDS if one of them has AIDS. This is the most common transmission option as shown on the diagram below. What drug they are using doesn't matter.== = = =Summary= ==AIDS can only be transmitted through mixture of blood or the mixture of the fluid from a sexual organ. You can’t get AIDS from hugging or touching another person that has AIDS. It can only be transmitted through unprotected sex, mixture of blood, sharing of drug needles and drinking the breast milk from a woman.==

major cause is the sharing of drug needles.
== ==This is a picture of drug needles just lying in the ground that are used. It is important to have a clean drug needle (But you still shouldn't do drugs) to use because otherwise you have the risk of getting infected with AIDS or something else that spreads from the mixture of blood.== ==

This movie is about people that have AIDS that talk about how feel and they are interviewed about their life and how this has affected their relationship with the person that gave him/her AIDS.
