HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.
HIV is transmitted by;
Unprotected penetrative anal and/or vaginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug users
Mother to child
One more question .
Does genital rubbing lead to HIV or any other STD transmission
Thanks Skippy
This is the only situation I am worried about. Fingers crossed .
I feel like lymph nodes swelling in just 4 days. Incredibly nervous
Thanks for the assurance Teak
But the doubts are killing me. I will be testing regardless.
You never had an exposure. An exposure requires unprotected penetration.
