Its not at all possible. First of all HIV is a very weak virus, it doesnt live long outside the body, and cant survive very long when exposed to air or light.... So for you to get HIV through sharing deodorant, the person would have to have bled all over your deodorant stick in which case u would have noticed, and not used it. Dont worry at all, you are not at risk

No. It is not possible to contract HIV this way.

Thereotically, maybe... but only if both two people had rashes that were bleeding and it was shared almost immediately.

In reality, you are probably more likely to be hit by a car, struck by lightening, and then develope SARS and the plauge all in the same day than you are to get HIV this way.

Still, don't share deoderant.... that's gross and you can get other nasty things that way.

but HIV can enter the skin (if you have a rash/ cut and yeah it can go in)
