Hi Sam
Insects have never been implicated in transmission of HIV. Transmission from day to day contacts with family members does not happen. Obviously, sharing toothbrushes and razors should be avoided.
For future reference, please not this is a forum on HIV and Aging. There are other fora at the body that address transmission
