Unprotected Sex

HIV is spread most commonly by having unprotected sex with an infected partner. The virus can enter the body through the lining of the vagina, vulva, penis, rectum, or mouth during sex. HIV can infect anyone who practices risky behaviors, such as:

Sharing drug needles or syringes
Having sexual contact, including oral sex, with an infected person without using a condom
Having sexual contact with someone whose HIV status is unknown.
