      How is HIV Transmitted?
      HIV enters the body through open cuts, sores, or breaks in the skin; through mucous membranes, such as those inside the anus or vagina; or through direct injection. There are several ways by which this can happen:

      1. Unprotected sexual intercourse with an infected person
      2. Sharing needles, syringes, or other injection equipment with someone who is infected
      3. Mother-to-child transmission
      4. Transmission in healthcare settings. Healthcare professionals have been infected with HIV in the workplace, usually after being stuck with needles or sharp objects containing HIV-infected blood.
      5. Transmission via donated blood or blood clotting factors. However, this is now very rare in countries where blood is screened for HIV antibodies, including in Singapore.

      All are welcome to discuss or enquire regarding your exposure, incident or should you go for testing.

      Rather than live in fear under the shadow of doubt, why not go for a HIV test and find out once and for all.....? Idea
