If an HIV positive person who does not have a very good oral hygiene spit in my eye a conversation, and saliva into it can contract HIV?
What is the chance?
Saliva kills or neutralizes the virus?
The virus exists in the saliva? how much of it?
thank you!

Like I said,spit or saliva in the eye is not a risk for HIV transmission but if you got infected blood in your eye like say a lab worker then there is a risk.
my translator translating this just some parts and I'm not American, I'm sorry! is that a person spit in my eye unintentionally. and so worried! because I do not know how far the virus resite saliva. further that the eye is a mucosal
No it would not be a risk because the saliva would have destroyed the HIV virus,thats why you can share food and drinks with HIV+ people and there would be no risk of infection.If HIV+ blood got in your eye without saliva then that would be a different story.
It's not a cure,saliva can't do anything for the HIV virus in the body.It only destroys it in the mouth--this is why oral sex is not a risk.
