Dr. Jean Yared answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine - Oncology

See below: A contact between body fluids (semen, blood, saliva etc) of a person infected with HIV and mucosal membranes (mouth, vagina etc) can predispose to infection; but the risk of infection depends on many factors including if the HIV person is taking medications or not, the viral load, the type and duration of contact etc.

Dr Bonuel and another doctor agreed
