Question Can AIDS be spread by tears?
What if you ask someone with AIDS to get you a pizza and they have just been crying and haven't washed their hands,can you get AID Sthat way?
Answer Hello:
No, AIDS cannot be spread by tears. AIDS is spread by contact with blood, semen, vaginal fluid, or breast milk. One of these fluids must be present in high enough concentration for the HIV virus to spread. The main causes of AIDS are unprotected sex and IV drug use. Causal contact such as touching another person or coming into contact with a fluid such as tears would not spread HIV/AIDS.
I hope this helps. If you have further questions let me know.
