How HIV is not transmitted

Unfortunately, there are still many myths around HIV. A person cannot be infected through:

- Mosquito bites
- Urine or sweat
- Public toilets, saunas, showers or swimming pools
- Sharing towels, linen or clothing
- Going to school with, socialising or working with HIV-positive people
- Sharing cutlery or crockery
- Sneezes or coughs
- Touching, hugging or dry kissing a person with HIV
- (Sexual) contact with animals, since HIV is strictly a human virus and is not carried by animals
