aidsmap.com :: HIV basics - Transmission: "HIV is found in body fluids. It is present in enough quantity to be infectious in genital fluids, blood and breast milk.
The main ways in which HIV is passed on are unprotected anal, vaginal and oral sex, by sharing injecting equipment, and from a mother to her baby during pregnancy, birth or breastfeeding.
Condoms provide excellent protection against HIV transmission during sex.
If you inject drugs, you can reduce the risk of HIV and other infections by not sharing needles or other injecting equipment.
With the right treatment and care during pregnancy and birth, and by not breastfeeding, it’s nearly always possible to prevent mother-to-child transmission of HIV."
