•Only three in ten adults (30%) can correctly identify, from a list of possible routes, all of the ways HIV is and is not transmitted.
•An increasing proportion of adults incorrectly believe HIV can be transmitted by impossible routes such as kissing and spitting.
•Nearly a fifth of adults (19%) believe if a family member was HIV positive it would damage their relationship with them.
