 HIV (the virus that causes AIDS) is known to be transmitted through the following routes: 1) Sexual transmission: this is the most common route of transmission in the world. The activities that are primarily responsible for transmission in this category are anal and vaginal sex. Transmission through oral sex does occur, but it is rare in comparison. 2) Blood contact: The most common routes for transmission in this category are through sharing injection needles for drug use, and medical procedures involving blood, blood products, and transplants (this is uncommon in the U.S.). 3) Mother-to-infant: Infected women can transmit HIV to the her infant in utero, during delivery, or through breast feeding.
