HIV/AIDS cannot be transmitted through the air or by handling food. The guidelines developed by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) regarding HIV/AIDS and food service workers state that employees are always expected to observe strict health guidelines. They are to take proper precautions and wear gloves if they have an open wound which may cause food contamination.
