What are the chances of getting aids from urine being splashed in the eye?!
Question: The possibility is so small, that if you contracted HIV this way, you would be the first person to do so.
According to the US Center for Disease Control, high concentrations of HIV virus have been found in blood, semen, vaginal fluids, breast milk, and bodily fluids that contain blood.
HIV has been found in the saliva and tears of some persons living with HIV, but in very low quantities. It is important to understand that finding a small amount of HIV in a body fluid does not necessarily mean that HIV can be transmitted by that body fluid. HIV has not been recovered from the sweat of HIV-infected persons. Contact with saliva, tears, or sweat has never been shown to result in transmission of HIV.
Urine is not even on the list.
A Minnesota AIDS group lists urine in the same category as tears. You can isolate the virus in very small quantities in the fluid, but there is believed to be an insuffient amount for transmission.
I hope this helps.

Not going to happen. Urine is not a body fluid that has HIV in it IF the person who urine gets splashed in you eye is even HIV+.
HIV is found in Blood, semen, vaginal fluid and breast milk. No urine, saliva, tears.....
