Can HIV get through underwear?!


Question:

Can HIV get through underwear?


Answers:

It's not possible to contract HIV from/through clothes. When a fluid comes into contact with clothing it dries in (unless there is so much fluid that the item of clothing is dripping with it), meaning there isn't enough wet fluid to infect you (Hepatitis B/C is a possibility though - as even a tiny amount of fluid is enough to infect you with this - this is over 100 times more transmittable than HIV).
But bear in mind, for this to happen you would need to be in contact with the underwear, and have open cuts/sores, if you are not there is no risk.
