Can you get HIV/AIDS by sharing food with an infected person?!


Question:

Can you get HIV/AIDS by sharing food with an infected person?

If you have a cut in your mouth?


Answers:

The HIV / AIDS would have to be spread through blood. So, they would have to have a bleeding cut on their mouth or hand and get blood on the food. Then, an open cut or wound on your body or in your mouth would have to make contact with their blood. This appears highly unlikely, but still possible. Although, the virus would most likely not survive in the environment outside of the body or that of the saliva in your mouth. Saliva won't transfer the virus, though. Just don't make blood to blood contact. And, obviously, definitely don't have sex with the person, so make sure it's not an aphrodesiac that you're eating.
