Spit in mouth

Spit in mouth

I was laughing with somebody and was facing him , and at the back of my throat i felt a speck of saliva  and i stopped laughing (that way when you feel saliva and you choke/cough) , I dont know if it was from the other person and it entered my mouth or if it was my own saliva i choked on. If the other person was HIV+ could i get it this way . Im really worried and stressed out.

Ok the reason I'm worried is the guy is from west Africa

just because he is from Africa, does not mean he has got hiv
quit with the judgment of  people and the ridiculous questions of transmission method
move on..

saliva is hostile to the virus, further a spec or even more saliva will not be a transport for the virus... So where is the problem even if u had all throat problems... Never never wil u catch hiv this way.

Also adding this to the one above but if that person had HIV2 can transmission still not be passed through HIV2 saliva
