A member asked:
Can hiv transmit from open cut (1 days old shave cut) on lips to fork or piece of food (both of them shared by one chew only) and infect somebody?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: HIV can be spread by contact with any infected body fluid especially blood. The odds are against infection with a small exposure through mouth but still possible. Get tested and monitored
