I've been looking for information on how to get HIV/AIDS and it always says that it happens through having unprotected sex with a partner with HIV, but how would a partner be infected in the first place?

Blood contact or secretions. Breast feeding your child if you are HIV positive. Sex. Needles. Open wounds and others with the virus blood coming in contact with your blood/open wound. You shouldn't trust anyone 100%. You both should be tested before engaging in sex and get the results together. However, there is always a possible chance. Always use a condom.

First of all for example if you were to have sex or share needles with someone who has been diagnosed with hiv then you yourself are at risk of contracting the virus....so you catch hiv from someone who has been infected with the virus. there are several misconceptions such as with gay men as studies say that they are more likely to catch it..leading people to think that it must be the fact they have anal sex but this is not the case..it is purely to do with the fact that gay men are statistically less likely to have protective sex and are more likely to be sexually active. The HIV virus can be spread through the exchange of bodily fluids, such as blood, semen and vaginal fluids. The most common way that HIV is spread is through sexual intercourse, including oral and anal sex. The virus can also be spread through sharing needles, and from a pregnant woman to her unborn baby. However, due to advances in treatment, it is now possible to prevent the virus from being passed on by the mother to her child. You can't catch HIV from kissing, from being sneezed on by someone with HIV, from sharing baths, towels or cutlery with an HIV-infected person, from swimming in a pool or sitting on a toilet seat that someone with HIV has used, or from animals or insects such as mosquitoes.

I don't where you've been looking for info but you've found is incomplete. HIV is transmitted through blood and other body fluids such as semen, vaginal secretions and breast milk. It is not transmitted by saliva or tears. Exposure to body fluids can occur in various ways -- through unprotected sex, sharing needles, exposure to infected blood that contacts unintact areas of skin or mucus membranes, such as the eyes. There are millions of websites that discuss HIV and AIDS and that also list the way in which the virus can be transmitted and I've never, ever seen one that listed only sex as a means of transmission Your next question is answered by looking at these sites.

Well you can get HIV/AIDS if you share needles with someone share foods with someone thats has HIV/AIDS have unprotected sex with some thats has it and if someones blood goes in side you blood has it and if some coughs or sneezes and you breath it in. You could only get HIV/AIDS from all that a person thats has HIV/AIDS expect for the needle parts.
