(1 point) he inhaled droplets from a close friends sneeze. he didnt thoroughly wash his hands after using the restroom. he shared a dirty needle when injecting drugs with a friend. he consumed food that wasnt cooked to a safe temperature.

Explanation:

HIV is primarily transmitted through unprotected sexual contact, sharing of infected needles (especially in drug - injection scenarios), and from mother to child during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding. Inhalation of sneeze droplets, poor hand - washing, and consuming undercooked food do not transmit HIV. Sharing a dirty needle for drug injection is a well - known high - risk behavior for HIV transmission.

Answer:

He shared a dirty needle when injecting drugs with a friend.
