A member asked:
Can you catch hiv from fresh blood that made its way into a marshmallow you have consumed? i'm pregnant so my gums are sensitive, but its not my blood
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Whose Blood?: Even if it was the blood of a person who has HIV that "leaked" into a marshmallow you ate, it is very unlikely that you would catch HIV. If the blood was from a person without HIV or animal blood, there is no risk.
