HIV is transmitted through specific bodily fluids: blood, semen, vaginal secretions, rectal fluids, and breast milk. Transmission routes primarily involve unprotected sexual contact (vaginal, anal, oral), sharing of needles or syringes, blood transfusions (rare in countries with screening), and from mother to child during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding. Smoking, drinking alcohol, and general bad hygiene are not direct routes of HIV transmission.
