Shared Beer can with person had a small cut inside mouth

[lincoln668]

Dear Med Help,

I recently drinked from the same beer can as a friend of mine. Afterwards he told me that he had a minor cut inside his mouth. Now I am worried that I might ended up coming in contact with his blood by drinking from that same can.
This either by swallowing or by putting my lips on the beer can. I didn't paid fully attention by examining the edge of the can or the inside, in case of any blood remains whatever. Lets suppose the edge where the lid is had some fresh blood on it, did this put me in risk of acquiring HIV?

Many thanks.

Dear Teak,

thank you for your extensive answer, this is very clear.

Have a good weekend

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 vaginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug abusers
Mother to child.

HIV is not transmitted by food products, eating or drinking after someone with HIV. Saliva is not infectious and contains over a dozen different enzymes and proteins that inhibits HIV transmission.

Ok getitright77 and others thank you

I understand you guys answer it quickly as no risk because of the transmission route.

In the meanwhile this keeps driving me Bonkers!

The edge of the can had some blood on it, still not a risk? why? please explain me more clearly..

many thanks

Hi,

Thanks for your answer. I do understand this is not a form of common transmission.
But suppose I got some blood in my mouth? This isn't really a risk than?
Please explain, I am really afraid, sorry.

many thanks
