HIV/AIDS. HIV/AIDS damages cells of the immune system, making it difficult to fight infections and certain cancers. Women can pass the virus to their fetus during pregnancy; transmission also can occur during labor and giving birth or through breastfeeding.
Thank you for contacting AIDS Vancouver. HIV is transmitted through unprotected sex and sharing needles. In the case of healthcare workers, the risk is highest in the case of a needlestick injury when drawing blood. Body fluids like blood, semen and vaginal fluids are ones that can contain high levels of HIV.
