Can AIDS be transmitted through urine?

The transmission of AIDS, caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), is primarily through unprotected sex, contaminated blood transfusions, sharing of needles or other drug paraphernalia, and from an infected mother to her child during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding. HIV is not transmitted through casual contact, such as shaking hands, sharing utensils, or urine.
