Dear experts, this might sound weird but i just want to be sure. is the hiv can infect someone by touch? i mean by skin to skin contact or through clothes in any situation? thanks?

HIV is a blood to blood contact transmission. Sex, anal, oral, and vaginal, as well as shared needles. Open cuts or sores on body in contact with an infected persons blood is another transmission route. No contact through clothes.
