It's a virus, therefore; transmission of the disease can be caught through any various methods. A virus can be transmitted through the air, through open lesions, though oral (saliva), semen, vaginal fluids, etc. All the virus needs is a mode of transmission/portal of entry and a host.

Here is a decent link which eplains it to what ever extent you want to know in easy terms:
