You never had an exposure, move along.
Thx. I understand it becomes inactive once exposed to air, but I am reading that it actually becomes inactive when the fluid it is in becomes completely dry. I was just thinking if infected secretion (saliva or otherwise) were still a bit on the food - and you then injested the food....but I guess the food and air, time elapse etc would make it virtually inactive pretty almost immediately? Thanks - and I understand this sounds crazy - but a scenario like this actually happened - hence the concern. Thanks again.
Not a chance.Hiv becomes inactive once exposed to air and therefore is unable to infect anyone.
No, it doesn't matter, cold hot or otherwise...sores or not. NO risk. HIV cannot be transmitted this way!
Thx. One last caveat - what if the food was actually something very cold - like ice cream/ice cream cake? I've read that heat will destroy the virus but it can survive in very cold temperatures. Would that make a difference in assessing a hypothetical risk?
hiv is not transmitted in the manner that you've described.
no chance...very very rare chance
