A member asked:
Can you get hiv from someone else's sweat getting in your eye? standing in line at concession stand and guy in front of me wiped sweat.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Even assuming the guy in line ahead of you has active HIV which is extremely doubtful, sweat on your eyes or skin cannot transmit the virus. It requires a break in the linings of the body - skin or mucus membrane.
