This condition progressively reduces the effectiveness of the immune system and leaves individuals susceptible to opportunistic infections and tumors. HIV is transmitted through direct contact of a mucous membrane or the bloodstream with a bodily fluid containing HIV, such as blood, semen, vaginal fluid, preseminal fluid, and breast milk.This transmission can involve anal, vaginal or oral sex, blood transfusion, contaminated hypodermic needles, exchange between mother and baby during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding, or other exposure to one of the above bodily fluids.This book presents new and important research in the field from around the globe.AIDS vaccinesHIV (Viruses)AIDS vaccines.HIV (Viruses)615/.372Kendow Lawrence B1865759MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910959307003321AIDS vaccines, HIV receptors, and AIDS research4472936UNINA
