The correct Answer is:
To determine which statements about the transmission of HIV are correct, we will analyze each statement one by one: 1. **Statement I: Sexual contact with an infected person** - HIV can be transmitted through sexual contact, particularly when there is unprotected sex. This is a well-documented mode of transmission. - **Conclusion**: This statement is correct. 2. **Statement II: Transfusion of contaminated blood** - HIV can be transmitted through blood transfusions if the blood is contaminated with the virus. This is another established method of transmission. - **Conclusion**: This statement is correct. 3. **Statement III: Sharing infected needles** - Sharing needles or syringes with someone who is infected with HIV can lead to transmission of the virus. This is a common route of transmission among intravenous drug users. - **Conclusion**: This statement is correct. 4. **Statement IV: From infected mother to the baby through placenta** - HIV can be transmitted from an infected mother to her baby during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding. The virus can cross the placenta, making this a valid mode of transmission. - **Conclusion**: This statement is correct. After analyzing all four statements, we find that all of them are correct regarding the transmission of HIV. **Final Answer**: All statements (I, II, III, and IV) are correct.
