Clear my choice
Solution
The mode of transmission of HIV that is not correct from the options provided is:
d. Insect bite
HIV cannot be transmitted through insect bites. The virus is transmitted through certain body fluids—blood, semen, vaginal fluids, and breast milk—and can be spread by sexual contact with an infected person, by sharing needles/syringes with someone who is infected, or, less commonly (and now very rarely in countries where blood is screened for HIV antibodies), through transfusions of infected blood or blood clotting factors. Babies born to HIV-infected women may become infected before or during birth or through breastfeeding after birth.
