A member asked:

Dropped food on clothes that may have hepatitis or hiv body fluids then ate it am i at risk?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Hiv and hepatitis are not transmitted orally, so unless you have extensive mouth lesions with open mucosa and were exposed to infected fluids, your chance of acquiring HIV or hepatitis (assuming b or c) are 0.
