The only way for this to happen is if they had a big cut with lots of blood and you had a cut as well. HIV can only be passed on through bodily fluids or blood. You can't get it from kissing either, you would have to drink about 3 gallons of an infected persons saliva to risk catching it.(Yuck, I know)
It was two years ago so I wouldn't be all that concerned. Sharing deodorant doesn't transmit bodily fluids only a few dead skin cells (for roll-ons anyway) From the panic in your message, I presume that it was a roll-on deodorant that you shared.
There is no need to worry, but if you really want to put your mind at ease, there is no harm in asking the Dr. if he can test you.
Hope this helps and good luck.
Have a great day/night!!!

HIV is transmitted by body fluids; especially blood, but also by tears, saliva, and mucus from various sources.
I have never heard of HIV being transmitted through sweat, and since it has been two years, if you were going to be infected from this encounter, you probably would have some sign by now. Go to the health department and ask to be tested.

Okay, was this an aerosol can or a roll on? If you are concerned, go get an HIV Test. This way you can stop "SWEATING" it- Good Luck & Take Care!

No in the open air it dies within minutes if not seconds.
It's only transerable through the blood stream by the way so you would have had to been bleeding through your armpits.

No. HIV can be transmitted by blood and semen, or to a child while in utero.
