Solution

The correct option is B By hand shake
  • AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) is caused by the HIV virus. It breaks down the body immune system, leaving the patient vulnerable to a host of life-threatening opportunistic infections.
  • AIDS spreads due to homosexuality, immoral way of life, infected blood, needles and syringes.
  • AIDS does not spread from person to person through direct contact (touching a person who has the infection), indirect contact (touching a contaminated object), or droplet contact (inhaling droplets made when a person who has the infection coughs, sneezes, or talks). Hence AIDS does not spread by the handshake.
  • So, the correct answer is 'By handshake'.
