When the experts seem to give conflicting advice?
Hey, I promise this will be my last post for a while. I was just curious about this, I was reading some answers given by Dr Edward Hook and Hunter Handsfield to very similar questions. For example, Dr Hook's answer:

while DR Handsfield gives this answer:

In this situation, who do you believe?

Ok. I just wanted to clear that up because I had a similar incident to the ones mentioned above. Thanks for the prompt reply
Dr Handsfields response was over 5 years ago,i believe he has changed his opinion on this type of exposure--HIV becomes inactive & unable to infect once exposed to air,HIV transmission occurs inside the body not outside it.
