Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Exchange of infected body fluids like semen,vaginal fluid, or blood and some other internal body fluids are likely to cause HIV transmission. Saliva, urine, motion, sweat are not infectious as it is not containing adequate concentrate of virus to cause an infection. So intercourse with an infected person has more risk than kissing,sucking and licking.
