spit talk

[albsten]

Hi,

Saliva is not able to pass on hiv, I know that. Some websites agree, unless "it contains visible blood". Now this is confusing to be. How do you know?

I went on a date and it didn't go well (for many reasons) and he was non-stop talking and laughing out loud and spitting (spraying) as he was talking. I felt some droplets hit my hand, don't know if or how much hit my eyes,mouth, face.

He admitted, sleeping around and that he doesn't always practice safer sex with other men. I say that his lips were cracked/chapped. Is this somehow a risk? Considering it takes less than a second for the spit to leave his mouth and land on me. Thanks so much (PS: I tested 2 weeks ago and I was negative, is this result still valid considering this event)

Nothing that you posted is any risk for HIV. Even if this guy was HIV positive, what you have described is not a risk for you. As long as you did not have unprotected anal/vaginal sex and you didn't share injectable drugs with him then you had no risk.

@Chima7

So whatever symptoms may arise in the next few weeks are not an indication of early symptoms of hiv. Can I with certainty rely on my negative test result prior this "exposure" and forget about this incident ?

Many thanks.

How could symptoms create a disease that you can't have?
You didn't test for male pregnancy because you know that can't happen and would be a waste of time. You have to apply the same concept and accept the HIV science that you can't have it so stop testing for HIV you can't have.
