Which of the following individuals are at risk for contracting HIV? Check all that apply.

HIV can be transmitted through sexual contact with an infected person and through contact with infected blood, such as a needlestick or other blood exposure while taking samples. Having multiple sex partners can increase the chance of exposure, and the healthcare worker may face blood-exposure risk. Being friends with someone who has AIDS or being that person’s sibling does not transmit HIV through ordinary contact or family relationship alone.
