Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
HIV is a virus infection, which spreads either by: Sex/Using contaminated syringes/getting infected blood transfusion or from mother-to-child through womb (placenta).
By having face-to-face contact or having hand shakes does not result in spread of virus from an infected person to a healthy person.
Please be reassured about getting HIV infection just by face-to-face conversation.
