A member asked:
I took a sip out of someone's drink and both of the corners of my mouth are chapped. is this a risk for hiv transmission?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No risk, no worry: Nobody ever caught HIV from this sort of contact. To avoid HIV, always have safe sex and don't share drug injection equipment. Otherwise no worries.
