The main cause of getting infected from hiv is unprotected sex.
Hiv is a virus that lives in human blood, sexual fluids, and breast milk. It weakens your immune system, so your body has a hard time fighting off common germs, viruses, fungi, and other invaders. Hiv doesn't live in saliva, tears, pee, or sweat -- so it can't be spread by casual contact with these body fluids.
If still in doubt, connect with me via call for right consultation.

Scratches often require only a tt. If your mother has been vaccinated within 6 months then no need for anything else.

The tetanus toxoid (tt) vaccine is given during your pregnancy to prevent the risk of tetanus to you as well as your unborn baby. Tetanus is a life-threatening bacterial disease that is caused by the toxin of a bacterium called clostridium tetani. Tetanus bacteria enter the body through an open wound.
