[Teak]

Yeah and yahoo says there are aliens out there too. You never had an exposure. move along.

[jake321321]

im just worried because i read on yahoo answers it is possible if the blood on ciggratte contacts the lips which has a cut or sore?

Did you not read Teak's replies?


"No risk and don't need testing. "

That's pretty clear.

[jake321321]

so hiv is not transmiited by sharing shisha hooka pipes and cigrattes and im 100 hiv risk free ? Correct?

[Teak]

HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.

HIV is transmitted by;
Unprotected penetrative anal and/or vaginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug abusers
Mother to child

[Teak]
