Your gym teacher needs to be fired. While technically this situation could result in transmission (assuming the girl was HIV+ to begin with), it would be considered a low risk activity.
HIV can be transmitted if an infected person's body fluids (Blood, semen,vaginal fluids, breast milk are the only fluids that have enough HIV in them to transmit infection) get into your blood stream.
In the situation described, it is possible for the HIV+ blood to get into the bloodstream if the penis had any cuts/tears, if there is an active sexually transmitted infection on the penis, or if the penis was emersed in the blood for a specific period of time.
These kind of examples concerning HIV transmission (unless specifically brought up by a learner as a question) only result in fear. HIV is a very hard virus to catch. There are a few specific activities that can put a person at serious risk....unprotected vaginal or anal sex, sharing syringes/needles, and sharing uncleaned sex toys. These activities are responsible for the VAST VAST majority of HIV transmissions.

The girl who soiled the tampon would have to be infected with hiv/aids. Not only that but the boy would have to have an open soar/wound/cut on his penis. If you gym teacher is talking about sex ed then you should be old enough not to believe everything you hear.

the inspiration of AIDS technological know-how is the African eco-friendly monkey theory, as proposed by ability of the worldwide’s top-rated AIDS researcher, Robert Gallo. Gallo claims he first heard the monkey tale in early 1983, a year earlier he got here upon HIV. HIV had "crossed over" into the human inhabitants from a definite species of chimpanzee, probable with the aid of blood touch that got here approximately throughout the time of searching and container dressing of the animals. It wasn't because of the fact somebody had intercourse with the chimp or the different tale which you have heard. The CDC states that the findings presented at a convention supply the main efficient data as much as now that HIV-a million originated in non-human primates.

he will only get aids if the blood on the tampon comes from a girl infected with aids, it's the blood that transports the disease.

why anyone would do this I have no clue, but yes it is possible. Any body fluid that enters another person's blood stream can cause aids. I can't believe your gym teacher told you that though, I'd pull my kids out of that school...lol

that is disgusting and why would any one ever want to do that? And the answer is NO. Unless there is the hiv virus on the tampon and he has open sores or cuts on his p***s or if it gets in the opening of his p***s.

No, that's not true. You should turn in your gym teacher to the principal for saying that to you.
