Can you get hiv if....?

Question

If you were talking to someone and they were really close to you and there breath went right in your mouth and possibly some saliva?

Answer 1

no!

Answer 2

You might get some good advice, you might get some bad advice, but topics like this you should always use a Drs opinion as a final answer. HIV infections are for life! And any information recieved should be treated with care. It's not a topic you want to be wrong about!!!

Now I've said that, this is my opinion. I really don't think so. I'm pretty sure saliva isnt as infectious as blood or other bodily fluids in small amounts. I'm also pretty sure I heard you can even use the same eating utensils as someone with HIV and not catch it and that you would have to drink a bucket of saliva before you would catch it because it has to survive going though the digestive system with stomache acids etc (Don't try it though, I could easily have been told the wrong thing). If you it in you blood supply though, that would be something totally different, that would be bad. I'd really ask a Dr if I were you, definately get checked out if your worried. Its better to have peace of mind than to get a whole heap of proberbly wonts and still be worried later.

no -
How HIV is Transmitted

HIV is spread by sexual contact with an infected person, by sharing needles and/or syringes (primarily for drug injection) with someone who is infected, or, less commonly (and now very rarely in countries where blood is screened for HIV antibodies), through transfusions of infected blood or blood clotting factors. Babies born to HIV-infected women may become infected before or during birth or through breast-feeding after birth.

In the health care setting, workers have been infected with HIV after being stuck with needles containing HIV-infected blood or, less frequently, after infected blood gets into a worker’s open cut or a mucous membrane (for example, the eyes or inside of the nose). There has been only one instance of patients being infected by a health care worker in the United States; this involved HIV transmission from one infected dentist to six patients. Investigations have been completed involving more than 22,000 patients of 63 HIV-infected physicians, surgeons, and dentists, and no other cases of this type of transmission have been identified in the United States.

Some people fear that HIV might be transmitted in other ways; however, no scientific evidence to support any of these fears has been found. If HIV were being transmitted through other routes (such as through air, water, or insects), the pattern of reported AIDS cases would be much different from what has been observed. For example, if mosquitoes could transmit HIV infection, many more young children and preadolescents would have been diagnosed with AIDS.

Answer 4

only 5% of cases of HIV transmitted through saliva mouth to mouth i mean kissing ... well if you were talking then the answer is no

Answer 5

No, you can not get HIV through saliva. You can only get it from blood to blood contact, unprotected sexual acts, and mother with HIV giving baby to her breast milk. You only contract HIV from blood, breast Milk, vaginal secretions, and semen. Most blood to blood contact comes from people who are addicted to drugs using dirty needles to get high. You CANNOT get HIV from some breathing in you face. Even if the persons saliva did get in you mouth.

Answer 6

No. Only through blood and Sperm. We were taught this recently in science. Unless you are kissing and you both have an open, bleeding cut and the blood goes directly into the other person's OPEN cut.

Answer 7
