Cum nu se transmite infectia HIV
HIV este un virus fragil. Nu poate trai pentru mult timp in afara corpului. In consecinta, virusul nu se transmite in urma unor contacte interumane precum: datul noroc, imbratisatul, sarutul pe obraz. Nu te poti infecta de la scaunul de toaleta, de la fantana, de la clanta, de la pahare, mancare sau animale de companie. Nu te infectezi cu HIV de la tantari.
HIV se gaseste in sangele, sperma sau secretiile vaginale ale personelor infectate. Are trei cai principale de transmitere:
- contact sexual (sex anal, vaginal, sau oral) cu o persoana infectata cu HIV;
- imprumutul acelor si seringilor contaminate de la o presoana HIV pozitiva;
- expunerea la HIV a fatului sau nou-nascutului in timpul sarcinii, al travaliului sau prin alaptare la san.

Although contact with blood and other body substances can occur in households, transmission of HIV is rare in this setting. A small number of transmission cases have been reported in which a person became infected with HIV as a result of contact with blood or other body secretions from an HIV-infected person in the household. For information on these cases refer to the May 20, 1994, Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, "Human Immunodeficiency Virus Transmission in Household Settings - United States".
Persons living with HIV and persons providing home care for those living with HIV should be fully educated and trained regarding appropriate infection-control procedures. You may view and/or download "Caring for Someone with AIDS at Home".
