But, as you know, who is warned, he is armed. Therefore, in order to somehow save yourself, in this article we will consider ways to disseminate such a serious illness.
What is AIDS.
AIDS (acquired immune deficit syndrome) - a disease that develops against the background of the acquisition of HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) and contributes to the fall in the body of the number of lymphocytes, the emergence of infections, as well as tumor diseases. AIDS is the final stage of the development of HIV infection.
How AIDS is transmitted
Methods for infection with HIV infection are now studying almost thoroughly, and scientists already know exactly how you can catch this virus. All AIDS distribution channels can be conditionally divided into 3 categories.
Blood in blood
Infection in this way can occur due to:
- Injection injection with an infected syringe or a drug filter (use of non-disposable needles or using one multiple individuals). Most often, in a similar way, infection occurs in those who use narcotic substances and do not follow the hygiene needle use.
- Transfusion of infected blood in a medical institution.
- Organ transplants.
- Ingressing infected blood on damaged skin, wounds or mucous membranes.
- Use of common utensils for washing the syringe and the manufacture of drugs.
- Application of piercing and tattoo with non-sterile tools.

The transfer of HIV infection with sexual contact (homosexual, heterosexual) - during intercourse, the virus, which is contained in the vaginal secrecy and sperm, penetrates into the human body through the skin microtraums, or through the mucous membrane.
From mother to child
Mother can infect her child with HIV infection in the period:
- Pregnancy.

The myths associated with the transfer of AIDS
Although almost all are known about HIV infection methods, the myths about its spread exist so far. So that there is no doubt, as it is possible and how it is impossible to get sick, dispel these false perception times and forever. HIV is not transmitted through:
- kisses;
