A member asked:
If there is a blood-free saliva from someone with aids on an undiesed wound, will the virus be transmitted?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Human immunodeficiency virus can be transmitted in a variety of body fluids. Blood is not the only one. However, it depends on how much virus is circulating. The smaller the exposure the less likely to transmit.
