This is Eric; I'm not a doctor. Food preparation is not believed to pose a risk of HIV transmission. Reasons include: HIV dies quickly (within minutes) outside the human body; cooking kills it; levels of HIV in saliva are low; etc.

I can only speak for the uk here but I would personaly adivse anyone who thinks there is a slight risk of having contracted HIV to just nip down to their GP, even if you have only been at risk once in your life, you never know
Also concider this
What if you have unknowingly contracted it, are you prepared to ignor the risk and put your girlfriend or boyfriend at risk, HIV is no longer a death centence...Choose life for yourself and your loved ones!

i have a question - lets say if you go to a restaurant and you order some food. One of the people that are making the food has HIV and/ or AIDS.Well she/ he sneezes in the food and the saliva on your food. And you eat it.
Will you contract HIV

"Live in a box and keep it in your pants" would indeed be one effective way to avoid contracting HIV, but it's not the only one, nor is that the intended message of the video. In many of our videos we talk about how to correctly use condoms (and use them every time) which is one way for sexually active people to GREATLY reduce their risk of contracting or transmitting HIV.

This is Eric; I'm not a doctor. Oral sex (whether protected or unprotected) does pose a risk of HIV transmission in either direction, although the risk is lower than anal or vaginal sex. See our video "Some Ways You Can Contract HIV and the Risk of Each ONE" and wikipedia article on "HIV" for risk estimates. Get tested for HIV, follow your doctor's instructions for any follow-up testing, and use condoms if you choose to be sexually active in the future.

This is Eric; I'm not a doctor. Anyone who has had unprotected sex (including oral) with a partner of unknown or uncertain HIV status is potentially at risk. See our video "Some Ways You Can Contract HIV and the Risk of Each One" for details. Get tested, follow the doctor's instructions for any follow-up testing, and use protection if you choose to be sexually active in the future.

...so if you have symptoms you could be infected...and if you don't you could still be infected? So I guess the moral of this video is live in a box and keep it in your pants... |
