Can AIDS be spread by touching a person that is infected with HIV?

Answer 1

Not very likely. The contact would have to include them having a wound or sore and leaving blood traces on the object that didn't die before you touched it. While it wouldn't be impossible, it is highly unlikely to occur.

Answer 2

if there was blood on the spot from the person that has aids you can but if there wasnt than no. If you feel that you may have it simply make an appointment and have a blood test, better to be safe.

because you had it with a girrafe who was hiv positice

Answer 3

the most logical explanation for me is that no you wont automatically get it. if they sneeze on suppose a plate and then you ate directly off of that plate then yes but if their hands are just normal and clean and they touch something and then you touch it doesnt necessarely mean that your automatically get sick like they are..hope this answers your question

Answer 4

AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) is not contagious. AIDS is a diagnosis given to someone who is HIV+ and whose immune system is weakened to a state that makes them susceptible to opportunistic infections.

HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is the virus that causes AIDS. It is not transmitted by touching an infected person. HIV is transmitted by contact with infected blood, semen, vaginal fluid or breast milk. It is 100% preventable and not transmitted through casual contact.

Answer 5

If that were the case there would be millions more infections of HIV than there are now! HIV is transmitted through contact with infected blood, semen, vaginal fluid or breast milk. Casual contact carries no risk of HIV infection :-)

Answer 6

No, HIV can only be transfered through blood, semen, vaginal fluid, pre-ejaculate and breast milk.

Answer 7

No, HIV is not transmitted in this manner. Only if the person got blood on the object would you be at risk.

Answer 8

No. You have to drink 8 gallons of an infected person's saliva to have enough of the pathogen to make contracting the disease possible.

Answer 9

no
