Two non-sexual ways HIV can be contracted
- Sharing needles or other injecting equipment (e.g., among people who inject drugs).
- Receiving contaminated blood, blood products, or an infected organ transplant (rare in countries that screen blood).
Two ways HIV cannot be transmitted
- By hugging, shaking hands, or casual physical contact.
- By mosquito or other insect bites.
Brief note: HIV is transmitted when infected blood, semen, vaginal/rectal fluids, or breast milk enter another person’s bloodstream or mucous membranes. Saliva, sweat, tears, casual contact, and insect bites do not transmit HIV.
