bite on the sandwich

well, I feel awful for posting this, but thing is that my brother was living abroad for a year and he's back, I believe he';s fine, he sure is self-assured and confident, doesn't seem worried at all, but I didn't directly ask him about tests and these things, as I know I tend to overreact and I'm usually concerned without need on these matters.

He took a bite of my sandwich last week, and I took a bite of a cake he was eating. Is it possible to get an infection (in the unusual case he was - most likely not! - infected)? I mean... he said he doesn't have gum diseases, the ones that bleed all the time. But would it be possible to blood come without notice? I checked before and I didn't see/taste any.

Also I'm concerned because I had a drink of a girl's beer can and I don't know her too well.

Please, I'm anxious about this. I know it sounds crazy, but it would be really reassuring to have someone to discuss this issues.

regards,

strat

hiv is transmitted through unprotected vaginal/anal sex...sharing of iv drug works...and mother to child.

you cannot get hiv from eating or drinking after someone with hiv.

there's no risk either sharing the same soap on the shower bathroom? I mean I dunno if someone masturbates and then wash his hands with semen and then I get to use the soap later. is there any risk in this situation?

You were given how you can contact HIV. You don't get it from soap or any other environment surfaces.

Don't worry, I'm a hypochondriac too! I'm worrying about something similar. Maybe reading each others posts will put things in perspective. Or we may both be crazy lol I just think we are the kind of people that worry about the "what if's" and a notable resource.. ie a doctor, will ease our worrying. Good luck, and I hope your anxiety lessens :)

Teak, please, if you could say something.

I've lended my artificial teardrops (since I wear contacts for miopia) to a friend and shortly after he used it I used it, then.
There was no noticeable blood and I assume his eyes were OK, it's just that some people touch their eyes with the tip of the eye solution bottle.

So please, if you could help me and say if there's any risk... I know, not the best question to make...
