Question: How can you actually catch AIDS? I see all the advertisements, but I worry that it might be easier to catch than they say.
You can catch AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome) by sexual intercourse with a man or woman who is already carrying the AIDS vitus (human immunodeficiency virus—HIV), by receiving blood from such a person, or by using a syringe needle previously used by a victim.
It can be transmitted by a person who is showing no signs of the disease, and may never develop the disease, but who carries the vitus.
It can NOT be caught by other forms of body contact including kissing. It is not highly contagious, and is actually quite hard to catch.
