Question 1

what bodily fluids do and do no transmit hiv?

Accepted Answer

HIV is hard to get: Vaginal and penile secretions and blood are the most common fluids that transmit hiv. One has to be in direct contact with mucous membranes (those tissues that line the gut and vagina) or direct blood to blood exposure like that from sharing direct vein to vein drug needles. 

Hiv is not caught through normal skin. It is not caught by touching or being around someone with hiv.

Question 2

does penis wid s.fluid pushed on outside vagina, with a healing cut on vagina can transmit hiv? no intercrs/std. and cut was not active.

Accepted Answer

HIV: Yes, this can happen if the seminal fluid contains virus and the cut is open or the fluid gets between the labia onto mucous membranes.  Be careful.

Question 3

if sexworker touches the innerside of the fresh condom by mistake and if she has slight vaginal fluid on her fingers (maybe 5-10 mins before she touched), can she transmit hiv inside condom and can the man get infected ?

Accepted Answer

Highly unlikely: HIV is transmitted through broken skin, open wounds, but mostly through mucosal membranes which is not what above scenario describes. A reliable site is cdc.gov in clarifying STD’s in general, HIV in particular. High risk sexual behavior may exacerbate health related anxiety.

Question 4

if a woman has her vaginal fluids in her  mouth can she possibly transmit hiv to another man after deep kissing? or does the virus die in the mouth ?

Accepted Answer

rare: Oral transmission of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) by hiv-infected individuals is a rare event.  Don't know how long it would take for saliva to kill off the virus particles.  Although rare its still possible.  Best to get checked.  Talk with your doctor.

Question 5

hi. m new here. if seminal fluid or precum on outside vagina(vulva) comes in contact with open wound or any break in skin, can transmit hiv?

Accepted Answer

HIV Risk: Not likely. But that is not  100%.If you worry then please get a test.

Question 6

will licking vagina or vaginal fluid of a hiv+ person transmit hiv, i have the same doubt about deep mouth kissing and breast licking. 
iam thinking about having sex with a not very well know girl, so what is your opinion ? should i have sex or not ?

Accepted Answer

: All these are zero risk or nearly zero. There has never been a known case of HIV acquired by performing oral sex on a female partner (cunnlingus) or by contact with breast fluid or kissing.

Question 7

could a syringe transmit hiv?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely: People who share needles, syringes, cookers, cottons, water, etc have a risk of sharing HIV as well as hepatitis b and c. Do not share anything (works etc) and do not backload. This is the best way to avoid these viral infections apart from stopping injection drug use entirely.

Question 8

can mosquitoes transmit hiv to another person?

Accepted Answer

No: In the more than 30 years since the aids epidemic began the has been absolutely no evidence that the virus can be spread by mosquitos.

Question 9

can a very small amount of blood transmit hiv?

Accepted Answer

Yes: If that small amount of blood is infected and introduced into the bloodstream, then yes.

Question 10

can you transmit hiv to your parter and not be infected?

Accepted Answer

No: You cannot transmit HIV if you are not infected. You can however transmit it if you are infected but do not have any symptoms. If in doubt both you and your partner(s) should be tested.
