The activity that is a risk factor for transmitting HIV is **sharing needles**. This practice can lead to the transfer of blood containing the virus between individuals, making it a significant risk for HIV transmission.
The other options—shaking hands or kissing, being bitten by mosquitoes and ticks, and coming in contact with infected toilet seats—are not considered risk factors for HIV transmission.
