I know that you can get AIDS or HIV by having sex, but i thought that you can only get them through blood to blood contact. So, if you have sex any theres no blood involved how does that work? please make this clear cause im very confused.

First of all, bodily fluids other than blood can carry HIV. Second, even under normal conditions there may be small tears in the mucosa of the vagina, urethra, or rectum; this increases in the event of rough activity. Even if not visible, these may be small enough to admit the virus to the bloodstream via surface capillaries.
2 :
The virus is spread through bodily fluids...vaginal and semen secretions as well as blood.
3 :
Yeah.. It can be spread through blood, vaginal fluids, semen, and breast milk.

HIV is the virus found in bodily fluids: semen, urine, etc. It is also found in: blood (a bodily fluid), breast milk and also in utero. A fetus may have a 90+% chance of getting AIDS if mother is infected with HIV. Treatment with antivirals in utero decreases this % to < 2%, with proper medical care and treatment. Mothers can also pass it along via breat milk. Saliva or spit does contain some virus...good hand washing is the #1 defense for transmission of any germs (pathogens). Hope this clarifies your confusion...! :O)
