A member asked:
Person with hiv is talking and their saliva hits your face or in your eye can it be transmitted that way? no open cuts on face but in the eye??
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No risk, no worry: There has never been a case of HIV acquiring by such an exposure. And if you think about it, there must have been millions of such exposures. Saliva does not transmit HIV; in fact, saliva kills the virus. This is one reason why oral sex almost never is risky for HIV. Don't worry about it.
