Can A Child Contract AIDS After Putting Used Condom In Mouth?
Hi Doctor, I am a bit concerned. We have just come back from a nature reserve and my 19 month old way playing in the grass and i saw him pick something up so i went to see what he was up to. I m 90% sure he didn t put it in his mouth but there was a used conodom on the floor next to him. I am worried just incase he did put it in his mouth before i saw him. I m worried about the AIDS issue but also anything else that i should worry about to your knowledge. Many thanks Kerry

Hi,
There is no need to worry as AIDS is not likely to be transmitted by putting infected things in the mouth. It needs a more convenient way to enter the blood.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
