Answer:

d) You can contract AIDS through passionate kissing.

Step-by-step explanation:

Despite being a term always approached by governments, health institutions, NGOs among others, doubts about the forms of transmission of HIV are very common. Among the questions, the question: "Does kiss transmit HIV?" Is probably the most recurrent one, and the answer given by the scientific community is emphatic: No. It is not transmitted through kisses because saliva does not have enough viral to contaminate another. person.

The ways to get the virus are:

  • Condomless sex with infected people.
  • Sharing needles among infected people.
  • Mother-to-child transmission through the placenta (this risk is almost nil when HIV is diagnosed during prenatal care).
  • Blood transfusion contaminated by the virus.
