Eye Infection

[alex1212]

good afternoon,

i was curious if there is any risk with getting someone's saliva/spit into your eye.  it was a normal conversation and some of his spit spraying into my eye.  i'm a bit concerned as he has a dubious past (sex/drugs/prostitutes).

It was just saliva - during a conversation
a spray must have hit my eye,

Oh that is only applicable if it involves blood or cemen

[alex1212]

Im confused because you say no risk then immediately follow it by saying there is a risk if you touch your eye - so that sounds confusing

[AloneInhere]

Not sure what is unclear abt my answer...
Saliva = no HIV

[alex1212]

i'm confused now
it was in public, (we were dressed and having a conversation so there was no semen)..

can anyone else comment as Im confused now?

if you kind of what you call it like cleaning something out of your eye... then the membrane if covered with blood or cemen, then the substance can penetrate the membrane. Saliva by itself is a save medium. Even if you lick semen or blood, more than likely the virus will not be able to survive or penetrate saliva.

hi - I'm confused why touching my eyes changes things?

saliva inhibit HIV... and as long as you don't wipe your eyes with hand then there is no risk ....
