Thank you for your time and for providing all the valuable information to some very
worried an anxious people, including myself. I have read the forum on food and not
getting infected, but most has to do with cooking food or blood in fluid, not blood on
food eaten within SECONDS that was not heated.
Here is the situation:
I went to a party and a friend of mine had a large open cutCuts and puncture wounds on his left handHand or foot spasms
Hand tremor about 30
minutes old (near the watch area), that was not dry, so the blood was visible, no
band-aid. At some moment, he open an orange fruit, and give me half of it (about 4
slices). I am concerned because I ate the fruit which may have had blood on it and I have
a cankerCanker sore (aphthous ulcer)
Fever blisters and canker sores

Canker sores sore in my mouth on the side of my cheek. Also, I have gastritis, so

Vesicoureteral reflux. Is there a risk of
transmition this way, if in fact my friend was infected and got his blood on the fruit
and I ate it right after he handed it to me? I saw him scrating his injure. Do you think
this requires testing for HIV? Am I worrying needlessly?
Thank you.
