If you believe you have been exposed to HIV and want help to judge your risk, would like advice about HIV testing, or have questions about the effectiveness of condoms or risks associated with specific sexual practices, this is the site for you.
"There is a protein in the mouth that attaches itself to the surface of blood cells and blocks infection by HIV that appears to be present in the mucous membrane in the mouth at a level sufficient enough to reduce the concentration of HIV in saliva to non-infectious levels. "
Quoted from http://www.mnaidsproject.org/learn/transmission.htm
So this is the reason why even a tiny bit of tastable blood wouldn't do anything?
it becomes inactive instantly or it needs a couple of minutes, and im guessing the mouth has saliva everywhere in the mouth even on cutsCuts and puncture wounds maybe even when blood is present?
so even though if hiv contaminated blood goes into a sore/cut, it needs time to infect which is more than a couple of seconds, and saliva will always slide into that spotBirthmarks - pigmented Liver spots Measles, koplik spots - close-up Mongolian blue spots and kill everything before it has enough time to infect, meaning the few seconds that saliva was not present is meaningless altogether?
