Getting HIV

Some activities make you MORE likely to get HIV:

  • Sharing needles and syringes
  • Having unprotected vaginal, anal, or oral sex
  • Having another sexually transmitted infection (STI) or tuberculosis (TB)

You CANNOT get HIV from:

  • hugging, kissing, talking to or touching a person with HIV
  • an insect bite (like from a mosquito)
  • Casual contact (like sharing food and drink, using a public restroom, or swimming together)

There are no documented cases of anyone getting HIV through kissing, even French kissing.
