If you are addicted to drugs, you are at a high risk of being infected. This is because the virus can be transmitted through the skin when it is cut or when it is pierced using a needle, razorblade, syringe or any other tool that has not been sterilized.

12. Transmission through oral sex is possible

Passing the virus through oral sex is rare, but it is possible to be transmitted this way. When ejaculation happens during oral sex, the risk of HIV is increased.
