How is the HIV virus passed on to other people?
HIV virus or the Human Immunodeficiency Virus is actually the virus which gives birth to AIDS. The HIV virus causes AIDS when the immune system of the body is extremely damaged, with the number of CD4+ cells in the body decreasing to less than 200. AIDS has no cure as yet, but can be prevented.
The HIV virus is can be contracted via unsafe sex, shooting drugs through needles and transfusion of blood. Having sex with an already infected person can result in contracting HIV. It can also happen by sharing a needle with someone who is already infected. If a child is born to a mother who has AIDS, the child is also infected by the disease.
Blood transfusion is also a way of getting the disease. If the blood obtained from an already infected donor is transfused, then the person can get infected.
AIDS has no cure as yet, but can be prevented by making use of sterilized equipment, ensuring clean blood is donated, and by making use of condoms for safe sex.

You don't have to take my word for it, check out the work of Dr. Robert Dueburg, the first to isolate the cancer gene, and who has done extensive research on HIV and AIDS. Check out his website and read for yourselves the AIDS hoax http://www.duesberg.com
Remember, the enemy of knowledge is not just ignorance but also complacency.
