You cannot get
HIV from someone coughing near you — even if you had pimples or facial redness.
HIV is not spread through air, coughing, or casual contact, such as:
• Being coughed or sneezed on
• Touching, hugging, or standing next to someone
• Having a skin condition like acne or pimples
Focus on your treatment for phimosis and recovery — that’s where your attention is most needed right now.
