Question

Dave went to the hospital to have his blood test done. He realised that there were few of patients undergoing treatment for syphilis and AIDS. How can Dave get infected with AIDS?

• A. Through infected needle
• B. By touching the door knob in the hospital
• C. By sharing a meal with one of the patients
• D. By hugging the patient

Answer 1

The correct option is A Through infected needle

AIDS is transmitted from one partner to the other by sexual contact. The AIDS virus can also spread through blood-to-blood contact with infected people or from an infected mother to her baby during pregnancy or through breast feeding.
These do not spread by casual physical contact like handshakes or hugs or by any of the other ways in which we touch each other socially.
