Final answer:

HIV/AIDS can be transmitted through non-sexual routes such as sharing needles, mother-to-child transmission, and contaminated blood transfusions.


Step-by-step explanation:

HIV/AIDS can be transmitted from one person to another through several non-sexual routes:

  • Through sharing needles or syringes contaminated with HIV-infected blood, such as in the case of intravenous drug use.
  • From an HIV-positive mother to her unborn baby during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding.
  • Through blood transfusions or organ transplants from an HIV-infected donor.

It is important to note that HIV cannot be transmitted through casual contact such as hugging, shaking hands, or sharing utensils.
