No, shaking hands with a person infected with HIV does not transmit the virus that causes AIDS. HIV is primarily spread through certain body fluids, such as blood, semen, vaginal fluids, and breast milk, typically through unprotected sexual contact, sharing needles, or from mother to child during childbirth or breastfeeding. Casual contact, like shaking hands, does not pose a risk for transmission.

Is it true that only gay men can be infected by the AIDS virus through their promiscuous sexual activity?

No, promiscuity alone doesn't cause AIDS, and anyone can be infected by AIDS regardless of sexuality or even promiscuity.All it takes is having ONE partner with AIDS to receive it; more partners does not lead to a higher infection rate, but a larger chance that you will "cross paths" with an AIDS victim. Use protection each and every time you have sex to prevent getting the virus.


Is it true that sexual intercourse causes AIDS?

AIDS is a "sexually transmitted disease" (STD). That means it can be passed from person to person during sex if one of them has the disease. If neither of them has AIDS, sex won't cause it. Of course, a person can have AIDS without knowing it. It can take some time after infection before any symptoms show up. And even before symptoms show up, an infected person can pass the disease along. So if you are sexually active, it's a good idea to get yourself tested at a free clinic or doctor's office. It's an even better idea to always practice safe sex!
