This won't lift the lid on AIDS. This is not a setting for AIDS. This won't open the door to AIDS.There is no evidence that a person can get AIDS from handshakes, doorknobs, toilet seats, dishes, food or from casual contact with a person who has AIDS.In fact, the AIDS virus is spread only in limited ways. Scientific research indicates that gay and bisexual men exposed to the repeated exchange of certain body fluids (semen, blood) are at highest risk. Persons who share needles to inject drugs are also at high risk.For information or for help, call the Washington State AIDS Hotline 1-800-272-AIDS. It's toll-free and confidential. In Seattle-King County call: The Aids Project 587-4999.Adapted from materials from New York State.
