A member asked:
Would someone spitting on their finger and then fingering you for only 20 sec(unknown if cuts on finger or mouth) pose as an hiv transmission threat?

Highly unlikely: Saliva does not transmit HIV although other bodily fluids and blood do.

No: Saliva is a famously poor way of transmitting HIV. You could perhaps get gonorrhea from this.
