Yeah my question .. I know it can not pentrate skin .. Can it get to my food from my hand ?
Brief Answer:
If it is mixed with your food than also the risk is not there.
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX,
Even though the fluid is mixed with your food, you are not at any risk because human saliva is not the fluid which transmits HIV. It also contains enzyme that prevents the growth of HIV so nothing to think upon as you are absolutely safe and risk free.
