Infection with HIV occurs by the transfer of blood, semen, vaginal fluid, pre-ejaculate, or breast milk. Within these bodily fluids, HIV is present as both free virus particles and virus within infected immune cells. The four major routes of transmission are unsafe sex, contaminated needles, breast milk, and transmission from an infected mother to her baby at birth (perinatal transmission). Screening of blood products for HIV has largely eliminated transmission through blood transfusions or infected blood products in the developed world.;Description:Goat Anti-HIV-1 Polyclonal Antibody;Host Species:Goat;Species Reactivity:Virus;Isotype:N/A;Application:EIA;Storage:Store antibody products at 2-8°C.
