Could i obtain the human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) from eating after someone that has it?

No: Hiv is not transmissible by sharing food or utensils. Hiv is spread by directly sharing body fluids such as semen or blood. This most commonly happens during sexual intercourse and / or with needle sharing. Always use a condom and spermicidal lubricant with sex and never re-use a needle that has been used by another person. Be safe.

No: You can get HIV from blood or bodily fluid transfusions or organ transplant or sexually intercourse. Casual contact such as food sharing or light touch or kiss has not lead to HIV transmission
