Sharing a straw and the risk of HIV?
My friend offered me a sip of her drink to taste it so I said yes. I shared her straw but afterwards noticed like chapped skin on the inside of my lips. Sort of like a sore or healing cracked lip not sure. When I sipped from the straw, the straw was wet because she had just sipped from it, so I'm assuming it could have been her saliva. Could I be at risk of HIV?
