E)nosocomial.

Accepted Answer

Heterosexual intercourse is the primary method of transmission of HIV worldwide, accounting for the majority of new cases. However, the relative importance of different modes of transmission can vary depending on the region or country. Intravenous drug use is also a significant mode of transmission in some areas, particularly when injection equipment is shared. Homosexual intercourse is a significant mode of transmission in some parts of the world, but not globally. At present, blood transfusions and nosocomial transmission are relatively rare due to improved screening and infection control measures.
