You can get HIV: By having unprotected sex- sex without a condom- with someone who has HIV. The virus can be in an infected personâ€™s blood, semen, or vaginal secretions and can enter your body through tiny cuts or sores in your skin, or in the lining of your vagina, penis, rectum, or mouth. By sharing a needle and syringe to inject drugs or sharing drug equipment used to prepare drugs for injection with someone who has HIV. From a blood transfusion or blood clotting factor that you got before 1985. (But today it is unlikely you could get infected that way because all blood in the United States has been tested for HIV since 1985.) Babies born to women with HIV also can become infected during pregnancy, birth, or breast-feeding. You cannot get HIV: By working with or being around someone who has HIV. From sweat, spit, tears, clothes, drinking fountains, phones, toilet seats, or through everyday things like sharing a meal. From insect bites or sting From donating blood. From a closed-mouth kiss (but there is a very small chance of getting it from open-mouthed or "French" kissing with an infected person because of possible blood contact).

HIV is transmitted by unprotected sex, sharing needles for drug use, otherwise getting infected body fluid into your bloodstream, or it can be transmitted from a woman to a child during pregnancy, delivery, or breastfeeding. HIV is not transmitted by saliva or by casual contact. The only way that kissing would be any risk is if you both have bleeding gums or open cuts in your mouths. Otherwise, it is completely safe to touch, hug, or even kiss someone who has HIV.
