NO. Schizophrenia is not transmitted by contact of any kind. You can safely socialize with your friend. Also, none of them psychiatric illnesses are transmitted by contact, so feel free to interact with any person who has psychiatric problem.

Dear Sir
Schizophrenia does not spread by talking to someone having it or by being in contact with someone who has schizophrenia.
