Worry about sharing. What should i do?? Pep??
Yesterday my friend who is hiv positive uses my chapstick; I think he's got dry lips, and there're some blood on his mouth. Then I decide not to use that chapstick anymore. But today I forget and use it unconsciously like every day. I think of the occurence of yesterday and so sacred.
Ok it passes for many hours--10 hours up. And I know that hiv dies when expose to the air, BUT WHEN MY FRIEND FINIESES USING OF CHAPSTICKS, HE CLOSE IT THEN, THAT MEANS THERE'S NO AIR IN THE CHAPSTICK!!!! That means when I uses it today THE STRONG HIV can infect me to my lips(???!!!!!) I don't see obvious bleeding at my lips, but I think lips are sensitive skin or mucous membrane. His blood may or can goes into my unseen or unnoticed wound at my lips -- it's dry I think it may be little wound.
Should I go to get Pep becuase the hiv doesn't expose to the air at all;It's kept in its over closed. Is it high risk? I'm so scary.

Sorry sir. I just worried about the cap. It close tight and I worried that there's the air can goes it to it. Is it dangerous because it may be no air. reply me please. I'm very serious. T_____________T"
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 users
Mother to child

hey Could you explain me please the difference between syringe and the cap on the chapstick. The cap closed so tight, there is the air in it??? just10hours that the chapstick is in my bag and the air condition room. The virus dies yet?? Sorry for my paranoid being, but I don't quite know the information. Even I bleed at my lips, I am safe right? T____T
Woah...dude...you're taking info you've read and applying it to this situation which is INCORRECT. A cap being on a tube of chapstick is not the same as an airtight space inside a syringe. HIV is not "strong" either. It's actually an incredibly weak and fragile virus. You need to better educate yourself about HIV.
YOU CANNOT GET HIV FROM OBJECTS! Not possible. The cap on the chapstick didn't prevent air exposure if there was infectious fluid.
nPEP is reserved for people who have had a REAL risk (sharing IV drugs, unprotected sex) WITH a confirmed + person.
Put this behind you, it's not a risk.
