Any body who can help
Hello I'm trying to learn about HIV to gain knowledge to protect my self and my children. One thing that always comforted me was that HIV couldn't survive out side it's host.
But according to the CDC David J. Acer, a dentist who was shared by the six patients and who died of complications of the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). So how could a HIV postive dentist spread HIV to six people if HIV can't survive outside the body?? And the CDC said he didn't have sex or use drugs with any of these people. Do you guys have any insights??
Any help would be great thanks!!!

Thankfully to this day is the only instance of a health care worker transmitting HIV to one of their patients...
