Does both hiv type 1 and 2 transmit same way?
I smoked a vape with someone unknown which may had blood on it? I live in africa so hiv 2 might matter do they both transmit the same basically through unprotected anal or vaginal sex and sharing iv needles only? Hiv 2 is not mentioned or does hiv stand for both type

HIV is transmitted the same way no matter what type or group. The only risks for HIV in adults are:
1) Having unprotected anal or vaginal sex, or
2) sharing intravenous needles with IV drug users.
HIV is NEVER transmitted by blood or fluid objects, no matter what. HIV is only transmitted in the two ways I mentioned above.
