A member asked:
Can u get hiv in the eyes or mouth? i had an experience with both, i got blood splashed in my eyes and mouth on accident i am so worried and scared of hiv?

In theory this could happen, if the other person has HIV, but it never has: in the 40+ years of the known worldwide HIV/AIDS epidemic, nobody is known to have been infected in this way. If it was a very large exposure (like blood all over your face in taking care of an accident or gunshot victim), see a doctor for advice. Otherwise I wouldn't worry about it.
