Can i catch aids if i don't brush my teeth?

Brushing: No aids is a result of the HIV virus and has to be transmitted from one person to another not because you didn't brush your teeth.

No: High risk behavior is more likely to get you infected with hiv. People who engage in unprotected sex and drug users who share needles are most at risk.
