Medical experts stunned after newborn contracts HIV from an open wound on dad's arm
While it is extremely unusual for the human immunodeficiency virus to be transmitted from father to child, this new case has only proven the impossible
A recent case proves that HIV can be transmitted in some extremely bizarre and unexpected ways. After several years of investigating, scientists across US and Portugal have discovered that a four-year-old child who was diagnosed as HIV positive in 2013, probably received the virus from a leaking blister on his father's arm when he was only a day old.
The case remained under wraps for quite some time since the chief source of infection of the virus was not found. There are multiple ways in which HIV can be transmitted, and most often, the virus is usually transferred through certain body fluids such as blood, semen (cum), pre-seminal fluid (pre-cum), rectal fluids, vaginal fluids, and breast milk from an HIV-infected person.
