Body Fluids

For Body Fluids we have terms and definitions in 3 topics. The topics are Female Health, HIV and AIDs and Sex.



Body Fluids (Female Health)

Fluids such as blood, semen, vaginal fluids, saliva
Contact with the body fluids of an infected person puts a person at risk of a number of serious sexually transmitted infections such as HIV and hepatitis.


Body Fluids (HIV and AIDs)

Any fluid in the human body including blood, urine, saliva, tears, semen, vaginal secretions and breast milk. HIV needs to infect certain cells in the body—especially CD4 cells—so fluids that contain higher levels of those cells will have levels of HIV that make it infectious (able to be passed to another person). The body fluids that can pass HIV to another person are blood, semen, vaginal secretions and, less often, breast milk, especially when blood is found in breast milk as a result of dry or cracked nipples occurring during breastfeeding.


Body Fluids (Sex)

Blood, semen, vaginal secretions, urine, feces, saliva and/or tears.
