Hello, I read your concern.
First of all you should be sure that this person is a HIV positive individual. Second the known ways of transmission are typically transmitted via sexual intercourse, shared intravenous drug, and mother-to-child transmission, which can occur during the birth process or during breastfeeding.
HIV virus is very fragile and not resistant in environmental conditions, so calm down because you have nothing to fear.
Best regards
