Question 1

Accepted Answer

No: They don't spread HIV.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

No HIV risk: There is no HIV risk from kissing even in the extreme scenario you describe. In all of the world there has been no documented transmission of HIV in this scenario.

Question 3

can a dog transfer hiv virus to a child through a bite?

Accepted Answer

No a dog cannot: Dogs cannot get and carry the HIV virus in them. So dog bites are not likely source for transmission of hiv. However dog bites can sometimes get infected easily and therefore most children are  started on antibiotics to prevent them from getting bacterial infections.

Question 4

what shoul i do about an hiv positive child who bites his staff?

Accepted Answer

Precaution and Peace: There is no known HIV  risk from a bite if the skin is not broken. All documented cases where HIV was transmitted from a human bite (very rare) involved severe trauma, extensive damage, and lots of blood. That's the good news. The goal, then, is to reduce biting (behavior modification? http://www.drgreene.com/qa/hitting-and-biting), and to protect the skin (pants, long-sleeve shirts, even gloves?).

Question 5

i have hiv last time my son bite me on my face is there any probetly to transfer hiv?

Accepted Answer

Let me advise you: Hiv, or human immunodeficiency virus, is a virus that can be transmitted through contact with infected blood or sexual fluids. The infected fluids or blood need to come into contact with mucus membranes or open wounds in order for the virus to get into a new host body.

Question 6

condom slipped from the base a little bit then was quickly fixed. am i at risk for hiv???

Accepted Answer

Yes: Please forgive my frankness. If you are having sex with somebody who is HIV positive, or whose status you do not know, you are on dangerous ground. You are smart enough to have found HealthTap and I think you realize this. You should get checked now and yearly. Love wisely and well.

Question 7

i have a little wound i bit myself 5 days ago and i kissed a guy i didn't have blood  or either did he should i get checked for hiv ?

Accepted Answer

No HIV Here: Kissing is no risk for hiv. That includes your full scenario. There are no reported cases of HIV transmission from kissing, regardless of the state of health of your mouth.

Question 8

found blood in my bread today. no it was not mine. i did not notice until my last bite. i'm freaking out about hiv risk as i ate quite a bit. scared?

Accepted Answer

Ingested blood: If you have no open sores in your mouth or throat you shouldn't have any cause to worry. You could get more advice from a public health department or a specialist in infectious diseases.

Question 9

if all if it has to happen(hiv transmission through razor).what are the things that has to take place?i am bit nervous about the incident took place at barber shop?

Accepted Answer

: Virus containing body fluids as in blood has to get on razor.  You must be cut enough by razor that some of it gets into your blood stream. Ask what do they do to disinfect razors.

Question 10

i just cut my thunk on a knife that came in the mail. i'm nervous about hiv as i do not know where the knife came from. it was a gift and was not wrapped at all just in a box. should i be concerned? freaking out a bit.

Accepted Answer

Not for HIV: HIV is a very fragile virus and is killed very quickly outside of the human body so the chances of getting HIV from the method you describe is very unlikely. However there are still concerns of other problems such as bacterial infection and tetanus, if the knife is rusty or the cut was deep, the area because red/hot/swollen please seek medical treatment.
