Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), present scientific evidence says that (1) you cannot catch AIDS as you would a cold or the flu, (2) you cannot get it from sitting next to someone who has AIDS or by touching or hugging a person who is infected, (3) you cannot get it by eating food handled, prepared, or served by an infected person, and (4) you cannot get it by sharing toilets, telephones, clothes, or eating and drinking utensils.
इसके अलावा, CDC कहता है कि यह वायरस मच्छरों के या दूसरे कीड़े - मकौड़ों के काटने से नहीं फैलता ।
