Hi there,

If you are to read properly....

It's "Blood Transfusion"........

As for your question.........no,no.no................

The virus is not transmitted through casual contact at home or elsewhere

It is safe to:
Share toilets, eating and cooking utensils
Use swimming pools, launderette
Stay in the same household
Work in the same office
Go to the same school

and insect stings and bites do not transmit the virus

Contaminated blood and blood products as in lke for instance, sharing spoon with blood on it that had specs on it? or razor blade or toothbrush that had resedue of blood on it?

Hi thre,

No risk at all. HIV virus is not transmitted through casual contact at home or elsewhere

It has been established that HIV transmission takes place in four ways :
1. Unprotected sexual intercourse wIth an infected partner
2. Blood transfusion wIth contaminated blood and blood products
3. Sharing contaminated syringes and needles
4. From infected mother to child during pregnancy, at birth or through breast
