If someone is smoking a cigarette and they have aids then they share it with me, would I get aids?

Answer 1

Very unlikely.
If they had a cut in their mouth and the cigarette was covered in blood and then you had a cut in your mouth and pushed the bloody cigarette near it.

Answer 2

The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) which causes AIDS is transmitted through body fluids, in particular blood, semen, vaginal secretions and breast milk.

You can become infected with HIV through:
Unprotected sexual intercourse with an infected partner
Sharing needles when injecting or other use of contaminated injection or other skin-piercing equipment
Blood and blood products, for example, infected transfusions and organ or tissue transplants
Transmission from infected mother to child in the womb or at birth and breastfeeding
You cannot get HIV by:
Casual physical contact
Coughing, sneezing or kissing
Sharing toilet and washing facilities
Using eating utensils or consuming food and beverages handled by someone who has HIV
Mosquitoes or other insect bites
What happens if you have HIV?
HIV weakens the human body's immune system, making it difficult to fight infection. Treatments exist which can prevent the onset of AIDS and although there are side effects, a person can lead a healthy, active life with a long life expectancy if they respond well to treatment. However, they can still transmit the infection to others.

Early symptoms of AIDS include:
Chronic fatigue
Diarrhoea
Fever
Mental changes such as memory loss
Weight loss
Persistent cough
Severe recurrent skin rashes
Herpes and mouth infections
Swelling of the lymph nodes
Opportunistic diseases such as cancers, meningitis, pneumonia and tuberculosis may also take advantage of the body's weakened immune system.

Is there a cure?

Treatments exist which can prevent the onset of AIDS and allow periods of illness to be followed by periods of remission. However, there is no cure for AIDS. Research is currently under way into vaccines, but none is viable as yet.

How does HIV transmission occur?
HIV is a fragile virus, which can only survive in a limited range of conditions. It can only enter the body through naturally moist places and cannot penetrate unbroken skin. Prevention therefore involves ensuring that there is a barrier to the virus, for example condoms, and that skin-piercing equipment is not contaminated

SO NO!

Good luck

Answer 3

Both Cacti and Jewels are wrong, the aids virus lives in bodily fluids not only blood. Granted, the virus is in question about living on a plate from a victim with AIDS, there's a time element but, that's a big chance to take.

A mosquito cannot pass the virus because it's to large for the mosquito to pass through it's siphon.

But, on a cigarette, the saliva is there, the virus is there.

Lovelyse has a lot of misconceptions there, I cleared one up, the mosquito, she has quite a few, most are wrong. There is a time element also.

Answer 4

Not unless they were bleeding through their mouth onto the cigarette, and they you had an open wound in your mouth and the blood got into it.

And even then it is almost impossible. The virus would have to survive outside the body, on the cigarette, not be killed by air, or your own saliva or anything else.

You are more likely to get lung cancer from sharing the cigarette.

Answer 5

This is a touchy subject but I think you have to come into contact with their blood not saliva.

Answer 6

i doubt it...its almost the same as kissing and you cant get AIDS from kissing someone with AIDS

Answer 7

that's truly not the case. You don't get AIDS ie. aquired immune deficiency disease unless and until you use a used syringe or by practicing unhealthy habits.

Answer 8

No just like kisssing

Answer 9

Not a chance.
Blood seimen only

Answer 10

NO you wont get AIDS... You have to have sexually contact with that person or have unprotected sex with that person to get it ..
