The most likely cause of HIV transmission in this scenario is sharing a dirty needle when injecting drugs with a friend. HIV is primarily transmitted through certain body fluids, including blood, semen, vaginal fluids, and breast milk. Sharing needles or other drug injection equipment with an infected person can greatly increase the risk of contracting HIV. The other options mentioned (inhaling droplets from a sneeze, not washing hands, consuming undercooked food) are not common modes of HIV transmission.
