AIDS
HOW YOU CANNOT GET HIV
HIV infection doesn't "just happen." You can't "catch" it like a cold or flu. Unlike cold or flu viruses, HIV is not spread by coughs or sneezes. Again, you get HIV by coming in contact with infected blood, semen, or vaginal fluids from another person.
* You won't get HIV through everyday contact with infected people at school, work, home, or anywhere else.
* You won't get HIV from clothes, drinking fountains, phones, or toilet seats. It isn't passed on by things like forks, cups or other objects that someone who is infected with the virus has used.
* You won't get HIV from eating food prepared by an infected person.
* You won't get HIV from a mosquito bite. HIV does not live in a mosquito, and it is not transmitted through a mosquito's bite like other germs, such as the ones that cause malaria. You won't get it from bedbugs, lice, flies, or other insects, either.
* You won't get HIV from contact with sweat, saliva, or tears.
* You won't get HIV from a simple kiss. Most scientists agree that although transmission of HIV through deep or prolonged kissing may be possible because of potential blood contact, it would be unlikely.
