Answer 2

The statement that is an example of how HIV can be transmitted from one person to another is 1. Contact between infected blood and a mucus membrane.

HIV is a virus that causes HI.V infection. This disease is characterized by being a progressive disease that causes the failure of the immune system and has no cure yet.

When the virus weakens the immune system, there is a much greater chance of developing other life-threatening diseases such as infections and cancer.

Transmission of HIV infection occurs only through the following fluids from infected people:

• Blood.

• Semen.

• Vaginal discharge

• Precum.

• Lactation milk.

In addition, HIV transmission can occur through mucous membranes such as genital and an.al tissue because the cells in these membranes are less tightly connected than the skin, allowing HIV to penetrate more easily.

According to the above, the correct answer is the A that provides correct information, while the information of the other options is incorrect.
