i was at a bar yesterday while i was having a drink i bit my tang it was bleeding then i drink a glass of water i'm so afraid if any one drink before me and was infected is it possible because my tang was bleeding a lot.
This is is no way a route of transmission for HIV.
HIV is an incredibly fragile virus which when exposed to small changes in PH, tempertature, moisture levels etc... becomes deactivated. In addition to which saliva contains over a dozen enzymes and proteins which inhibit HIV.
HIV cannot be transmitted from drinking from a water glass, even if you bit your tongue. It is not transmitted from environmental objects and your glass of water is exactly that.
