Route of HIV blood transmission

The major route of HIV transmission is through blood. For this reason, any wound can be a point of entry for the virus after coming into contact with the blood of a person infected with the virus.

For example, using needles or sharing razor blades can be a reason for getting HIV through wounds or mucous membranes. Similarly, the use of unsterilised sharps between several people getting tattoos or earrings could also lead to HIV contamination.
