A member asked:
Can a person get aids from touching the stool or poop of an aids infected person?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Hiv is a very fragile virus and is not as easily transmitted as many often believe or suspect. By just touching the stool, you are not giving the virus any way to enter into your bloodstream.
