HIV Information

Are some people at greater risk of HIV infection than others?

HIV does not discriminate. It is not who you are, but what you do that determines whether you can become infected with HIV. Worldwide, sexual intercourse is by far the most common mode of HIV transmission. Furthermore, HIV infection is common amongst people directly or indirectly involved with injection drug use, i.e., using HIV-contaminated needles to inject drugs or having sexual contact with an HIV-infected drug user.
