  • AIDS cannot be transmitted by (a) sexual contact

AIDS cannot be transmitted by

(a) sexual contact

(b) hugs

(c) breastfeeding

(d) blood transfusion

Answers (1)

Answer: The correct option is (b) hugs

Solution: AIDS is caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and is transmitted by sexual contact, blood-to-blood contact (blood transfusion) with an infected where the body fluids are exchanged with the non-infected person. A mother infected with AIDS can transmit the disease to her baby while breastfeeding.

Hugs or handshakes by or to an AIDS-positive person do not transmit the virus.

Hence, B is the correct answer.
