Can HIV Virus Be Transmitted Through Saliva?
Question: Hello,sorry for my English as I am czech. I am pregnant and worried. I pured myself a glass of water from a bottle which my XXXXXXX friend had drank from before me. He told me that he just had oral sex with his friend and after that he drank that water from the bottle.Now can I get hiv virus? Please help me . Thank you!
Brief Answer:
I don't think there is a risk
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I am Dr Mittal.
I have read your query.I think I may be able to help you.
The fact remains that the virus spread through the exposure to the mucosa cuts or injury.
I don't think you have either.
Second, just having oral sex is not enough. There should have been a contact with semen. So the risk drops.
Finally, oral spread is very low.
So overall, I think the chances of getting the infection is low.
Best of luck.
