A member asked:
Can hiv survive more than a few min in a tube of toothpaste? if even possible.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Why do you ask?: Hey Alex, I'm really glad that you're health-conscious, but you're simply not going to get HIV from a tube of toothpaste. Even doing something really unusual with it. You've got to have sex or share a needle, and even then it's much less catching than a lot of other stuff. If you've got obsessive fears about catching HIV, talk with your physician about it. Be thankful for good health. Enjoy youth.
