A member asked:
If your friend has aids can you use the same bar of soap?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Hiv is transmitted only by intimate contact, i.e., sex, needle sharing, blood transfusion, organ transplantation, breast feeding for infants. Soap should be fine, along with hugging, kissing, and other non-intimate activities. This is not an easy disease to acquire.
