Thank you for query.the modes described by you are not a method of transmission of HIV.Daily routine works do not transmit HIV.Talking,eating ,shaking hands,using same toilet etc do not spread or transmit HIV. so allay from such fears.you cannot discriminate HIV + people.You can get back to me for any clarifications .Dr Bharatesh D Basti Dermatologist and Venereologist
