A member asked:
Who can tell me why urine doesn't transmit hiv. is there any scientific proof to back up such a statement?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Studies back it up: In general, there are many studies that show that HIV does not transmit through certain body fluids such as saliva, urine, feces, sweat, tears, or vomitus. An exception would be if any of these secretions were tainted with blood.
