A member asked:

Is it possible to contract aids by drinking an infected persons blood?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes,probably but why: Theoretically, probably yes, but why would you want to drink another person's blood? I guess perhaps if you were having rough sex and bit someone who was hiv+ and drank their blood, it would be possible...
