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. 606 $aAIDS vaccines 606 $aHIV (Viruses) 615 0$aAIDS vaccines. 615 0$aHIV (Viruses) 676 $a615/.372 701 $aKendow$b Lawrence B$01865759 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910959307003321 996 $aAIDS vaccines, HIV receptors, and AIDS research$94472936 997 $aUNINA
