Remember that for someone to be infected with HIV, three things must all be present. They can be summed up as source, quantity and route:
- source: HIV can only by transmitted in certain body fluids of someone with HIV
- quantity: only blood, seminal fluid, vaginal fluids and breast milk of someone with HIV contain enough HIV to infect another person
- route: there has to be a route for the HIV into the blood stream in order for a person to become infected
If you are worried that you could have been at risk or you are not sure whether a particular activity is risky, you could talk it through with someone on a Helpline. There are phone numbers at the end of this booklet.
