Sexual contact with people or any activities that involve your exposure to the body fluids of others, especially blood and semen. Always take precautions by using condoms until you are both tested; anyone who has had unprotected sex with anyone is at high risk. Don't take any chances of giving or getting HIV.
In addition, any other activities that involve potential contact with the body fluids or blood of someone else puts you at risk. Some such activities are IV street drug use and sharing needles, treating a bleeding victim of injury, having improperly sterilized tools for piercings and tattoos used on you, and receiving transfusions (although this is safer now than in the past). But, this is not a full list of activities, only the most common.
Home testing kits for HIV are now available in the US. Get testing for both partners before unprotected sex, no matter how well you know the other person or how sure you are of your status.
