HIV can be transmitted sexually through blood or semen if no protection is used and the person with HIV doesn’t have an undetectable viral load.

Finding out that you have HIV doesn’t mean an end to relationships with HIV negative partners. These relationships are sometimes called serodiscordant.

HIV is passed on through blood, semen, vaginal fluid, anal mucus and breast milk, if the person with HIV has a detectable viral load. It’s not passed on by spitting, sneezing or coughing.
