Alternative way of getting HIV? Feb 5, 2006 I was wondering from time to time, getting HIV is only by sexual contact? Could you get HIV from from contact with the object that might contain germs that hasn't been touched by anyone else? |

 HIV isn't only acquired by sexual contact, it's also acquired by contact of infected body fluids (sexual fluids, blood) with mucosal membranes or blood vessels. Casual contact does not transmit HIV. BY | ||||||||
