I have shaken hands with a relative with AIDS before. Will I be infected if I shake hands with him?

    Without contact with body fluids, it will not be infected. The vitality of HIV outside the human body is very fragile. It can only survive for a few hours to a few days at room temperature outside the body. It can be washed with soap and hot water, or it can be killed with bleach; air And water, cough and sneeze, mosquito bites, shared toilets, shared phones, shared tableware, courtesy kisses, swimming, hugs will not spread.
