A member asked:
What are the chances of contracting hiv from an infected piece of candy? looked like there was blood in my milky way. my bf saw it and said it's blood

Unlikely: HIV virus does not survive long outside of the body. I also ponder why would anyone eat any candy already chewed on by another person and how would the blood be left on a piece of candy. At any rate, it is highly unlikely that you can contract HIV from the candy even if there was infected blood on it- still can't get over why you would put a partly bitten piece of candy into your mouth.
