The virus can, however, be transmitted from mother to unborn child, by contaminated needles and transfusions. Since April 1985, blood banks have screened blood donations for signs of the virus...

Cells from the growths break away and are ferried by lymphatic fluid throughout the body, sometimes, although rarely, forming islands in the lungs, kidneys, bowel or even the nasal passages. There they respond to the menstrual cycle, causing monthly bleeding from the rectum or wherever else they have settled...
