No, shaking hands with a person infected with HIV does not transmit the virus that causes AIDS. HIV is primarily spread through certain body fluids, such as blood, semen, vaginal fluids, and breast milk, typically through unprotected sexual contact, sharing needles, or from mother to child during childbirth or breastfeeding. Casual contact, like shaking hands, does not pose a risk for transmission.
