HIV is present in the blood, breast milk, and the semen, vaginal fluids from infected people.  爱滋病毒存在于来自受感染者的血液、母乳，以及精液、阴道分泌液中。

The ways HIV can be transmitted are sex without a condom, sharing infected needles, syringes, or other injecting drug equipment;  爱滋病毒会被传播的途径有：无套性交、共用受感染针头、注射器，或其他药物注射器具；

from an HIV-positive mother to her baby during pregnancy¹, birth, or breastfeeding. 也会从一位阳性反应的母亲在怀孕期间、生产，或哺乳时传给她的宝宝。

But HIV cannot be passed on through kissing, touching², spitting, coughing, or sneezing;  但爱滋病毒不会透过亲吻、触摸、吐口水、咳嗽，或打喷嚏被传递；

through toilet seats, swimming pools, or shared facilities, even utensils³. 也不会经由马桶座、游泳池，或共用设备，甚至是餐具来传递。

And it cannot be passed on by insects, like mosquitoes. 而且爱滋病毒不会透过昆虫传递，像是蚊子。
