HIV related questions. Please help!?

Can you contract the disease from with Aids contaminated food, from perinatal transmission or thru breast feeding?
I need this for an exam.

Thanks.

HIV is not very stable when it is outside of the human body, it only survives for a couple of minutes so the risk of getting it from food is essentially zero. There are always "what if's" but the risk is essentially zero.

The risk from mother to child during pregnancy is very real, but there are drugs, such as nevarapine that are pretty effective in preventing this kind of transmission.

The risk from breast feeding is even higher, especially if the mother is not taking anti-retroviral drugs, because the virus can collect in the mammary glands and be transmitted to the child.

No, yes and yes

parental anways yes to breast feeding in the womb yes but they can give the mother something pretty effective in reducing the risks and i'm not sure about food probobly not if it was cooked after words

AIDS is wide and varstly spread.Here's a site with all the information.
