The word AIDS means acquired immune deficiency syndrome. This is a group of symptoms and infections which damage the immune system. AIDS can be received from a mother to child, exposure to infected bodily fluids, and sexual contact. Unprotected sex is sexual intercourse without something such as a contraceptive to prevent the sperm from connecting with the egg. Common contraceptives include oral contraceptives, condoms, and diaphragms.

Acquired immune deficiency syndrome or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS or Aids) is a collection of symptoms and infections resulting from the specific damage to the immune system caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).[1] The late stage of the condition leaves individuals prone to opportunistic infections and tumors. Although treatments for AIDS and HIV exist to slow the virus's progression, there is no known cure. HIV is transmitted through direct contact of a mucous membrane or the bloodstream with a bodily fluid containing HIV, such as blood, semen, vaginal fluid, preseminal fluid, and breast milk.[2][3] This transmission can come in the form of anal, vaginal or oral sex, blood transfusion, contaminated hypodermic needles, exchange between mother and baby during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding, or other exposure to one of the above bodily fluids. ==Wikipedia Unprotected sex is when you have intercourse (vaginal, anal or oral) without using a condom, or in the case of engaging in oral sex on a woman a dental dame.
