A member asked:
How likely is it that someone could get hiv from accidentally putting a hiv+ persons contact lens in their eye? could hiv live on the lens even after soaking in contact lens solution? what about syphillis?

HIV is a blood borne virus and lives in bodily fluids. Blood, semen, vaginal and anal fluids and breast milk. The virus dies when in contact with air and no fluids to live in. Contact lens does not support the sustainability of the virus as well as SYPHYLLIS. Be careful around an HIV infected person and practice safe sex.
