hiv from saliva into the eye
I was talking to a friend of mine who is hiv positive. While talking , he spat in my eye and I cud feel droplets in my eye due to his spit. Considering his hiv status, can I get hiv from this incident. I spoke to my family doctor and he says hiv is transmitted by saliva
Multiple members have explained that HIV is not transmitted by saliva. HIV, in adults, is transmitted by having unprotected, penetrative vaginal or anal sex, or by sharing IV drug works with other IV drug users. That is it.

I got ur prompt reply saying my doctor is not updated with info. I have not had any scientific reasons from ul- the experts. Why does saliva not carry the virus? If there is a bit of blood in the saliva? Is it then a risk. Is there any reported casr
I gave you that answer. Now move on please.
Thank u very much for the reassurance. Is there any scientific reason why hiv is transmitted only in blood and why not in saliva

I got an answer of don't know. Is there any risk at all
Pl answer. Is there any risk
Pl reply
Still waiting for the answer! Is there no risk at all.
Saliva is not infectious and breaks down the virus rendering it unable to infect
Because it doesnot survive outside the host. Its transmitted by unprotected insertive vaginal/anal sex. sharing iv drug needles and mother to child.
Can anybody give a scientific answer why hiv cannot be transmitted by saliva in the eye
Thanx. I heard that hiv is transferred via bodily fluids. The guy I was talking to is positively hiv positive. How is saliva different to blood, they r both body fluids
You never had an exposure.
My worry inc when my family doctor says its a risk. That's why I took to the internet for answers
Its my first time to post. I was looking for ans on the internet and learnt about this forum. Is there a smallest possible risk at all from saliva from an hiv infected person land straight into my eye. Very worried
Can I have unprotected sex with my wife. Iam a bit scared coz the person is hiv positive.is there any risk at all
Ask your Dr why he is misinformed.
No risk no matter what.
No risk no matter what.
Why does he say so. Is there any possibility of getting hiv from saliva. What if there is blood in his saliva . The spit landed straight in my eye. Pl reply
