You can’t get AIDS from masturbation. AIDS is a contagious disease and there are sources and routes of transmission. There are other ways of transmission, such as irregular tooth extraction, tattooing, irregular injections, and sharing of injection needles, as well as a very small number of medical transmission. Most patients with HIV need timely treatment. Most patients with HIV are stable after regular treatment; a small percentage of patients may develop drug resistance, which requires adjustment of the antiretroviral treatment regimen and testing for drug resistance genes. Patients with AIDS need to be clean and wear condoms during sex to prevent cross-transmission to others.
