Sounds like bullshit...
| quote: | Methods of contraction
The virus is usually transmitted during intimate sexual contact, or by exposure to contaminated blood via shared hypodermic needles or blood transfusions. The two primary fluids that carry the virus are blood and semen. It is possible for someone to carry the virus without any symptoms or knowledge of its presence. You cannot acquire AIDS through casual contact, hugging, touching, closed lip or cheek kissing. French kissing is a little fuzzy. The presence of the virus in saliva is very minute compared to its presence in the blood. However, brushing one's teeth does cause the gums to bleed making it apparent that hypothetically one could contract HIV through "French" or wet kissing. A good rule of thumb would be to avoid French kissing an infected person or someone in a high-risk category. The virus cannot exist outside the body for any substantial amount of time, so you cannot contract the virus by eating a meal or swimming with someone carrying the virus. You cannot contract AIDS by donating blood, since all needles used for blood donors are sterilized and used only once. Blood used in transfusions today goes through a strict screening process, making the estimated risk of acquiring AIDS through a blood transfusion between .01% and .001% or very, very unlikely.
You cannot contract AIDS from...
Exposure to sweat or tears
Sharing food, utensils, towels, sheets, a telephone or a toilet
Swimming in a pool
Bed bugs or mosquitoes
Dry kissing
Donating blood
