Q: can i get hiv by sharing a drink with someone while having a small scrape in my mouth but using my own straw?

: Very possible if they are HIV positive. Any open lesion can contract the virus if you share anything with someone who is HIV positive .Blood from your abrasion if open can be a host for the virus.
