re london people

Hi,

Right i have to appolagise firstly for re submitting this post. Although i am thankful for the advice i do not think the question was understood. I said that there was blood in the saliva, not think how do i know because i saw it and it was horrible. So i am saying that when walking the saliva that this guy spat out had blood and i felt some hit my eye.

Is this a risk. There are no if's as i saw it.... Weird but true

and if not not a risk as i have been told does it not matter then how much blood is in the spit.

No risk, saliva has emzymes that does not allow HIV to roam free. It would have to be direct blood and only blood and a lot of it. Like during a transfusion-that is why they test all of the blood now. It's not just something you can pick up if someone drips some blood on you or you touch some blood.
