Someone's blood and/or semen must get inside you for the virus to possibly effect you!. Doctors, nurses, paramedics, dentists, policemen must be very careful that they did not get infected!. If blood of the infected person gets inside your mouth!. You need yo be careful with your own cuts and wounds!. Watch out for an infected person's open sores!.
Sharing unclean, infected needles/shots can also spread the virus!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
