HIV by droplet transmission?
Hello, I got another question about HIV transmission. During working, I was reasoning with a homeless person, we talk face to face (like 3 - 4 feet distance).
I am aware saliva is unable to transmit HIV, however i have canker sore and dry lips (I don’t know if there is tiny wound). If his saliva contains blood, and somehow the droplet got it in my mouth/ small sore, any chance for exposure? Thanks you.

Reread the advice. I'm sure you know the meaning of the word "about only" so you shouldn't be asking any questions about hiv risks because the science is 40 years old and doesn't change.
