Spread of HIV

Infection with HIV can occur through the transfer of blood, semen, vaginal fluid, pre-ejaculate, or breast milk. Within these bodily fluids, HIV is present as both free virus particles and virus within infected immune cells.
The four major routes of transmission are unprotected sexual intercourse, contaminated needles, breast milk, and transmission from an infected mother to her baby at birth (Vertical transmission). Screening of blood products for HIV has largely eliminated transmission through blood transfusions or infected blood products in the developed world.

Progression to AIDS

If you receive no treatment for your HIV infection, the disease typically progresses to AIDS in about 10 years. By the time AIDS develops, your immune system has been severely damaged, making you susceptible to opportunistic infections — diseases that wouldn't trouble a person with a healthy immune system. The signs and symptoms of some of these infections may include:

Swollen lymph nodes — often one of the first signs of HIV infection

Soaking night sweats

Shaking chills or fever higher than 100 F (38 C) for several weeks

Cough and shortness of breath

Chronic diarrhea

Persistent white spots or unusual lesions on your tongue or in your mouth

Headaches

Persistent, unexplained fatigue

Blurred and distorted vision

Weight loss

Skin rashes or bumps
