A member asked:
Can i get hiv through touching someones genitals over clothing. has anyone ever been infected this way?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Simple answers - no and no. Hiv is spread by the direct exposure of bodily fluids (blood, semen, vaginal secretions) to other at-risk tissues (cuts in the skin, needle sticks, skin tears, etc.).
