Which of the following is most likely to transmit the HIV virus?

Answer
A
mucous
B
breast milk
C
sweat
D
skin

Explanation

HIV can be transmitted through breast milk from a person with HIV to a baby during breastfeeding. Sweat does not transmit HIV, and intact skin is a barrier to the virus. “Mucous” is not a usual route of HIV transmission, so breast milk is the best choice.
