A member asked:
Just had some doubts about how hiv is spread.......can it be spread through unknown particles in the air if they go in the mouth ??
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Need to be blood-to-blood transmission. (in sexual encounters, minute hemorrhage in the sexual organs from the friction is how HIV enters the blood stream)
