Hello there.  I can understand your concern.  The best thing to do would be is to read about HIV AIDS on wikipedia.  There is a very good article on it. You will learn a lot about it and also its mode of transmission. If you do not want to read then the answer for your question would be "NO" Best regards. Dr. Anil kumar jain. Bangalore.
