HIV/AIDS Transmission: Can It Spread Through Shared Utensils?

No, AIDS cannot be spread by sharing drinking glasses or eating utensils. The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the virus that causes AIDS, is primarily spread through direct contact with infected blood, semen, vaginal fluids, rectal fluids, and breast milk.

Sharing utensils or drinking glasses does not involve this type of direct contact and therefore poses no risk of HIV transmission.
