How is HIV spread?

Explanation:
HIV is spread through routes where the virus is present in body fluids and can enter another person’s bloodstream or mucous membranes. The main ways are sexual contact without protection and exposure to infected blood, such as sharing needles. Casual contact like hugging, coughing, or sharing food does not transmit HIV, because the virus is not transmitted through those everyday interactions and doesn’t survive well outside the body.
