My fries from wendy's today had blood on them, i know for sure because it taste like blood. i'm freaking out of getting hiv. what are the risks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No risk, no worry: First, it is exceedingly unlikely that there was blood on the fries. Second, swallowing HIV infected blood almost never transmits the infection. Third, nobody in the world has ever caught HIV from contaminated food. Nothing to worry about.
