Question: 1 / 400

HIV is spread through all except for?

Infected semen

Vaginal fluid

Blood

Skin

HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is primarily transmitted through specific bodily fluids, which include infected semen, vaginal fluids, and blood. Each of these fluids contains the virus and can lead to infection if they enter the bloodstream through various means, such as sexual contact or sharing needles.

Skin, however, is not a fluid and does not carry the virus in a way that can cause transmission. In fact, intact skin provides a barrier that protects against the virus. Although cuts or open wounds can potentially allow for transmission if they come into contact with infected fluids, the question specifies transmission through bodily fluids. Therefore, skin does not play a role in the spread of HIV in the same way that infected bodily fluids do. This distinction is crucial in understanding how HIV is transmitted and helps clarify why skin is not a vector for the virus's spread.
