A member asked:

If you share a drink with someone and they had chapped lips/cut or bleeding gums can you get hiv if i also had chapped lips and sometimes bleeding gum?

Dr. Robert Kneece answered

Unlikely: That is very unlikely (but not totally inpossible ) unless you both have bleeding gums or lips? However there are more contagious things besides HIV and best if any one is bleeding best not to share drinks etc.
