Everyone who has unprotected sex with an infected person is at risk of contracting HIV, but people who already have another sexually transmitted disease (STD) are even more at risk. HIV can be spread sexually from a guy to a girl, a girl to a guy, a guy to a guy, and a girl to a girl. Sharing needles to inject drugs or steroids is another way that HIV can be passed to other people. Sharing of needles for tattoos, piercings, and body art can also lead to infection.
