Correct option is B
The correct answer is (b): Viral particles are abundant in seminal fluids.
- HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is primarily transmitted through the exchange of body fluids that contain high concentrations of the virus.
- Seminal fluid, vaginal secretions, and rectal fluids are particularly rich in HIV viral particles.
- During sexual contact, these fluids can come into direct contact with mucous membranes or small tears in the skin, allowing the virus to enter the bloodstream and infect the individual.
HIV is spread through sexual contact becauseviral particles are abundant in seminal fluids .
- Blood is mixed during sexual contact– While HIV can be transmitted through blood, blood mixing is not typical during regular sexual activity unless there are open wounds.
- The Virus lives inside sperms– HIV does not live inside sperm cells; it is present in the seminal fluid, which also contains white blood cells that can harbor the virus.
- The Virus is present in the skin of sex organs– HIV does not reside on the surface of the skin. It is present in body fluids like semen, vaginal secretions, and blood.
