The correct answer is
HIV is found mostly in blood, semen, or vaginal fluid. An HIV-positive person can pass the virus through unprotected sex (oral, vaginal, or anal) and through sharing needles or syringes. Women can pass the virus to their babies before birth, during birth, or through breast-feeding. The risk of getting HIV from a blood transfusion is very low. Since 1985, all donated blood in the U.S. is tested. HIV is not spread through casual contact, such as shaking hands or hugging, or from sharing food, glasses, utensils, towels, bedding, toilet seats, or pets.
