A nurse is planning a presentation about HIV for a church-based group. Which of the following information about HIV transmission should the nurse include?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
This is because HIV is a virus that infects certain cells of the immune system, such as CD4 cells or T cells. HIV can be found in blood, semen, vaginal fluid, breast milk, and other body fluids that contain blood. HIV can be transmitted through sexual contact, sharing needles or syringes, mother-to-child transmission during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or occupational exposure to blood or body fluids.
