Question

AIDS cannot be transmitted by
A. Sexual contact
B. Hugs
C. Breastfeeding
D. Blood transfusion

Answer 1

Hint: AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) is caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus, which interferes with the body's capacity to fight infections. Flu-like symptoms such as fever, sore throat, and exhaustion are among the acute symptoms. The condition is asymptomatic and leads to AIDS over time.
HIV infects the blood and multiplies only in blood cells; hence HIV is present in the infected person's blood.

Complete answer:
Option A: Other methods of transmission include sharing injection needles, sexual contact, and transfer from an infected mother to her child via the placenta during pregnancy.
So, option A is not correct.
Option B: AIDS is a viral disease spread by sexual intercourse, semen, saliva, blood, and the breast milk of an AIDS-infected person. Breastfeeding from an HIV-infected mother can also transmit AIDS to the baby. During a hug, no bodily fluid is exchanged from one person to the next.so option B is correct.
Option C: HIV is a virus that targets the immune system of the body and can be transmitted through specific bodily fluids, including breast milk. Transmission from mother to kid can happen during pregnancy, birth, or breastfeeding.
So, option C is not correct.
Option D: When infected blood is transfused to a healthy person, the person is at risk of becoming infected with the virus.
So, option D is not correct.

Additional information:
HIV is classified as a lymphadenopathy-associated virus and is divided into two types: HIV- and HIV- (LAV). The HIV virus impairs the immune system, and when another infection comes, the body's ability to fight it is compromised, which can be devastating and result in the infected person's death.

Note:
By destroying and lowering the immunological T helper cells, AIDS symptoms include significant weight loss, fever with night sweats, persistent exhaustion, and recurrence of infections. HIV wreaks havoc on the body's immune system, impairing the body's ability to fight infection and disease. Patients frequently succumb to less serious illnesses such as pneumonia. Sharing meals (since HIV is not shared by saliva), sharing comb, and mosquito bites (as no vector is known to carry HIV) are not factors in HIV transmission.
