Air borne: A cold can be transferred just being close to somebody. You can catch it even without having a direct physical contact. If somebody sneeze/cough around you, or if you are in contact with the body fluid from the upper airway- saliva/nasal discharge etc- you can catch it. It is not a sexually transmitted disease. But, yes you can catch it because of the above reason.
