Is It Possible To Get An HIV From Blowing Balloon If The Seller Was HIV +ve ?
i have a query about hiv infection.Recently I bought a water balloon from a balloon seller for my daughter.when i reached home the balloon got deflated n i blew air in it again.can you please tell me whether i am at risk of getting hiv from blowing the balloon if the balloon seller was hiv positive.i dont have cracked lips.i have heard that the hiv virus gets killed in a very short time outside human body and saliva doesnt cause hiv transmission

Hi!
Yes that's right .Hiv virus cannot stay for long time outside body fluids.Hence the chance of you contracting the same is close to zero.
