HIV does not survive well outside of the human body. This really smells like an urban legend.

No. It has never been proved that HIV is transmitted through saliva. But theoretically if both of you have open wounds in your mouth then there is a distant chance (very very small %) of spreading the HIV infection. Mode of transmission of HIV is 1) Through sexual contact with HIV infected person.  2) From infected mother to fetus (baby in the uterus). 3) By receiving HIV infected blood or blood product transfusion - this route is now very rare because of modern laboratory tests to detect HIV in blood, before giving transfusion. 4) By sharing needles (drug addicts)and or accidental contaminated needle stick injury in a hospital.\n---- One more point---  HIV can not be transmitted through the bite of mosquitos---- We are lucky right!!??

YES you can most definitely contract the HIV infection through oral sex....any exposure you have with an infected persons bodily fluids exposes you to the dangers...if you are giving oral sex and the person releases there fluids into your mouth it is the same thing as being exposed to the infected persons blood...so be careful...you should always use protection when performing any type of sexual function...oral or penetration...

NO it can not, unless the infected person bleeded on the food and you put it in your mouth (which has to have an open wound) no later than five minutes after the blood came out of the infected person which, by the way, is very unlikely.

Your husband should be fine.  HIV is a fragile virus and can't live outside of the body.  It dies almost instantly.  So any of the virus on the bloody clothes would be dead.  If your husband had an open wound and pressed it up against your sons open would, there maybe risk.  But he was perfectly safe handling the bloody clothes.  Still, its never a safe idea to touch blood without gloves on, regarless of if it is infected with HIV.\n\nAs far as kissing goes, you can't get HIV through kissing.  The only way there would even be a SMALL risk is if it was deep kissing and there was a lesion or cut in his gum so it was blood mixed with saliva.  Even then the risk is very small.  \n\nDon't worry, unless your husband is having unprotected sex with your son, or sharing needles with him, none of you are at rist.  \n\nI've included a link to some good information about HIV and its transmition.  Taken from that link is this information.  Visit the link to find out more.\n\nCan HIV spread through kissing? \nAnswer: Kissing such as on the cheek or lightly on the lips carries no risk of transmitting HIV. In deep kissing there is a small risk because the saliva of an infected person contains few virus particles which by itself is not sufficient to cause the infection. But there could be bleeding gums or ulcers in the mouth and exchange of infected saliva mixed with blood during kissing could transmit the HIV \n\n\nHow is HIV not transmitted?  \nAnswer: HIV cannot spread by casual contact such as touching, holding hands, body contact in crowded public places, shaking hands, working or playing together, sharing food, vessels and clothes, eating food cooked by an infected person, light kissing, mosquito and other insect bites, swimming pools, and toilets.  \n\nQuestion: How long can the virus live outside the human body? \nAnswer: The Human Immunodeficiency Virus is fragile. Once the virus is outside the body in a dry form, it dies immediately. Even in a wet state, it does not live long when exposed to heat, detergents, or disinfectants. When stored in blood banks at 4°C, it can live for about 3 weeks (or longer), or till the white cell disintegrates, but in a frozen state it can survive for years.

No u cannot get it.HIV is transmitted ,\n1.f a person engages in sexual intercourse with an infected person without using a condom, s/he can get infected. The sexual act can be both vaginal and anal.Theoretically oral sex without condom (on men) or barriers like dental dam, vaginal dams or plastic wrap (on women) can also transmit the infection.\n2.If a person shares the needle or syringe used by/on an infected person, either for injecting drugs or drawing blood or for any other purpose involving piercing, s/he can get infected. Instruments used for piercing and tattooing also carry a small risk of infection.\n3.A person can get the infection, if he/she is given transfusion of infected blood.\n4.If surgical devices like syringes and scalpels, or even certain instruments, used on an infected person, are used on another person without proper sterilization, they can transmit the infection.\n5.An HIV positive mother can transmit the virus to child during pregnancy or birth. Breast milk can also act as a transmission-medium.\neven if it has blood on it,HIV cannot survive when exposed to open air.\nNever mess with HIV,stay safe.Also,please devolp some knowledge on HIV/AIDS,u sound ignorant,like some guy who just came from the remotest jungles of Africa.

It is not possible to pass on a food or preservative allergy to someone else by donating blood.  Such reactions are caused by immuno globulins which are removed from the blood before it is stored by the blood bank.  It is very noble to give blood - it is certainly needed - and I hope that you will continue the practice.

First of all...to all the people that said "duh"...Your answers to this question were 100 times as stupid as the question itself.  The answer to the question is that they will only find out if you have AIDS, if you've done marijuana, or other drugs if they run a specific test for it.  They don't put the blood in a machine and have it run all the tests that are known.  When you get blood drawn, there has to be a reason...They might be looking for how your kidneys or liver are functioning, so they will test for that.  If they want to know if you have been taking drugs, they can test for that as well.

Aids, hepatitis, and pretty much any other blood-borne pathogen. They can all be transmitted by blood contact.

Let's try education. HIV can be transmitted via sex, but also by blood transfusions, blood contact, kissing, needles and other methods of bodily fluid transfer. HIV is not a conviction and does not condem a person for a way of life. Some have been transfered unknowingly by someone else's life style. It is not a judgement. and should not be treated as such.

First of all, you can't get AIDS... you can get HIV, which destroys your immune system over time and once that immune system is obliterated you are now considered AIDS positive. So, to answer your politically correct question: You CANNOT get HIV by kissing, transfering saliva, etc. You can get it by sharing needles during drug use, etc., having unprotected and sometimes even protected sex, crossing blood with an HIV+.

Possibly. If the person giving you a blow job has a small cut or sore in their mouth, and you have a cut or sore on your penis then you can get HIV, not AIDS. AIDS develops from contracting HIV. HIV can only be spread from blood to blood contact. It's always best to protect yourself.

The chance of getting HIV from this is so unlikely it's practically impossible. Although there can be some HIV in saliva, it has to get into your bloodstream to infect you.

well yes there's still chance for that, aside from sexual intercourse, HIV can be acquired through blood transfusion, or if you have an open wound and your partner has one and those two wounds touch each other, just be sure both of you dont have an open wound on your lips before kissing, the virus's incubation period takes a long time and is virtually undetectable unless if you go for a check up.

The exact answer to this question is "yes" as everyone is gonna die sooner or later ! ;)\n\nwell, if someone is infected by HIV, he can still live 5 years with no clue that he got aids.\nafter this 5 years, things begin to appear. then if he/she caught a cold for example they might die.\nbut this is not for sure. u can be infected with AIDS and live a long life !

HIV can be transsmited only by blood or seminal fluids. Hope u understand this. If u eat semen or vagunal fluid u can get it

Causes: Unprotected sex with someone who's HIV positive, Blood transfusion with HIV Positive blood, sharing drug needles with an HIV positive person.\n\nEffects: Potential for Serious illness, compromised immune system, death due to complications from such illnesses. Also, effects include shame, fear, isolation, depression, and hesitancy to have children for fear of passing on the disease.
