Passage A

HIV is spread or transmitted from the person to another by bodily fluids such as bloods, semen and vaginal fluid. This happened in two main ways:

1. by sexual intercourse with an infected person.

The virus can be transmitted when an infected individual has sexual intercourse with another person. The lager the number of sexual partners and individual has, the more likely he or she is to have a partner who has HIV infection, thereby increasing the chances of becoming infected.

The virus is passed on more easily by anal intercourse than by vaginal intercourse. The infection can be transmitted not only from man to man and man to woman, but also from woman to man.
