Needle Sharing

Apart from the previous direct contact with the body fluids of an infected person, there are also indirect causes of HIV infection from an infected individual. In some low income and underdeveloped countries, the use of disposable injections/needles increased the transmission of HIV. Also, in some countries, the injection needles are used multiple times to inject drugs or medicines, which carry HIV from infected to a healthy person.
