Answer:

Direct contact

Step-by-step explanation:

A direct contact happens when a healthy person gets infected with a disease via direct physical contact with body fluids (such as blood), in the case of an injection the infected person's blood gets in contact with the healthy person's blood through the needle, causing this last one to get infected.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
