A member asked:
If someone has small amount of blood from chapped lips or in saliva and when talking to you a small amount goes in eye are the hiv risks high?

Very low: Firstly the person from whom the blood came h.As to have a significant viral load. Secondly the person getting hit with the blood has to have an opening into the bloodstream . Most with HIV under treatment have viral loads of zero. And blood to blood transmission is required. So the risk is extremely low and i in fact do not know of a single case in the usa transmitted in this way.

The risks are nil: The risks are virtually zero even if the individual has hiv.
