AIDS can be transmitted from women to men. It can be transmitted from women to healthy men, mainly through blood, sexual and mother-to-child transmission. If a woman with HIV is not protected during sex, her vaginal and cervical secretions contain high levels of HIV, which can be transmitted to a healthy man through the exchange of body fluids. The blood of a woman with AIDS can also be transmitted to a healthy man. A woman who is infected with HIV can give birth to a male baby with HIV if she is pregnant without mother-to-child interruption.
