no chance...very very rare chance
hiv is not transmitted in the manner that you've described.
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?
No, it doesn't matter, cold hot or otherwise...sores or not. NO risk. HIV cannot be transmitted this way!
Not a chance.Hiv becomes inactive once exposed to air and therefore is unable to infect anyone.
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.
You never had an exposure, move along.
