Answers (1)

The answer is the option (c) Shaking hands with infected persons

Explanation: HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) spreads primarily through the exchange of certain body fluids that contain the virus. These include:

  1. Blood: Transmission can occur through contaminated blood transfusions, sharing needles or syringes, or accidental exposure to infected blood.
  2. Semen and Vaginal Secretions: Unprotected sexual activity (vaginal, anal, or oral) with an infected individual is a common route of transmission.
  3. Breast Milk: An HIV-positive mother may pass the virus to her baby through breastfeeding.
