Risk of infection (from a HIV +ve source)

RISK OF INFECTION (from a HIV +ve source)

Sexual Intercourse (Vaginal/Anal)	0.1 % - 1.0 % (male to female is 7- 10 times more than female to male) Having STD increases the risk.
Blood Transfusion	90 - 95 %
Pregnant Mother to Child	20 - 40 %
Intravenous Drug Abuse & Others (*)	0.5 - 1.0 %
Breast Milk	Controversial (but if present, benefits definitely outweigh risks)
Saliva	Controversial (just anecdotal reports till now been presented in its favour).

(*) - Surgical accidents -needle stick injuries- unsterilised instruments/ equipment.

YOU DO NOT ACQUIRE HIV by:

Casual contact (sitting together, sharing clothes/ utensils).
Casual kissing, shaking hands (deep kissing when there are oral ulcers could be risky).
Mosquitoes
Swimming Pools/ Door knobs/ Railings/ Toilet Seats
Donating blood

[Apart from ways mentioned in the BOX, there is no other route by which HIV can be transmitted].
