It is not possible to become infected with HIV through sharing crockery and cutlery, insect/animal bites, touching, hugging or shaking hands, eating food prepared by someone with HIV, or toilet seats.
Unfortunately, around the world there are a number of myths and wrong beliefs about HIV/AIDS. Some people are for instance of the belief that only gay men or black people become infected with HIV, or that once infected, sex with a virgin is the cure. Such false notions do not benefit the fight against the disease. Here knowledge and information sharing becomes key. AIDS is best prevented by halting the spread of HIV, and a global as well as local effort is required.
