They can be airborne (droplet borne, Influenza)
By direct contact
By bodily fluid transfer (blood, etc... HIV)
By sexual contact (e.g. HIV)

Some are air born. This time of year such as influenza, others are passed through body fluids, If you are worried. Good hand washing especially when you go out in public. Before you eat, I think grocery carts carry a lot of germs and viruses
