Hello, hope all of you that are helping are doing well, i once was unaware of the danger of HIV and have had a couple of sexual encounters with CSW, however after reading more on the virus and the effects of it, i am starting to pay attention to it. I have did a few hiv test all post 3 months exposure and it came back negative. Although i am glad that i have knew the danger pose to me and have since maintain abstinent from sex. I am aware that i started to became over worried over the daily things in life that could put me in risk, although i know that HIV is transmitted through penetrative sex or sharing injection needle, i still felt anxious about other activities. I would like to ask you if i am talking to a person, would the saliva spittle that came out from his mouth into my eye could infect me? what if there is a little bit of blood in his saliva. I would also ask if someone accidentally use my toothbrush a few minutes ago before i use it, however i did rinse it through tap water before i use it, would this pose a risk? Thanks. i am trying to get educated and put all this worries behind me.

No, even then there is no risk, HIV never transmit through exchange of body fluids outside the body

Salive does not carry virus, in fact this body fluid has certain enzymes in it, inactivate the virus. Contact of salive with eye has no threat or risk of HIV
