HIV stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus. Yes, AIDS is an infectious disease.

Four modes of spreading AIDS are as follows:

(i) By having sexual contact with an infected person.

(ii) By the transfusion of blood from an infected person.

(iii) Through infected needles used for injection.

(iv) Through the placenta from the mother to child during pregnancy.
