Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the pathogen that causes AIDS in humans, can be transmitted in five ways: sexual contact with an infected individual; needle sharing by infected, intravenous drug users; transfusions of infected blood; exposure of wounds or cuts to the blood or body fluids of infected persons; and in utero transmission to infants by infected mothers. The risk is essentially zero that HIV could survive optimal water treatment procedures. There is no evidence that HIV can be transmitted via a waterborne route.
