AIDS is mainly transmitted through sex, Blood transmission, mother-to-child transmission.
HIV infection can cause different degrees of immune deficiencies in the human body.

The main ways of transmission are: 1. Sexual contact: including unsafe homosexual, heterosexual and intersex contact; 2. Menstrual blood and blood products: including sharing needles for intravenous drug use, unsafe and standardized interventional medical procedures, tattoos Etc.; 3.
