A member asked:
Can you get hiv if you drink a few drops of blood from someone who's infected? should i get tested just in case?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very low: Unless you had open sores in your mouth. If it will reassure you, then get tested. In future, drinking blood of another person is not a good idea. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
