no chance of spreading hiv to you. sharing the items from hiv person will not cause you hiv only thing if the shared item is not blood stained or body fluid mixed. thnx healthcare magic

Hi. just relaxed. don't worry. Hov can not spread by using laguage of hiv positive person. Hiv can spread by sexual contact, blood to blood contact or from maternal to child. moreover hiv virus can not survive for long time out side the body environment. you are totally safe. Don't worry at all. And just remove your phobia.
thanks for using health care magic.
