Blood Spots in Coffee
Yesterday I got myself a cup of hot coffee packed and took a few sips. After that I noticed blood spots inside the cup and even the coffee tasted funny. Am I at risk ? It was definitely blood !!
No, that is in no way a risk. Probably not blood but even if it was, this would not be a risk for HIV transmission. The only way adults get HIV is to have unprotected vaginal or anal sex or share IV drug needles. You can' t drink hiv. Saliva and air inactivate the virus. NO, ZERO, NO risk.

Has someone been infected this way before ? Even If I drank the blood mixed with coffee ?
Answered the question already. Did you have unprotected vaginal or anal sex or share IV drug needles? No? Then no risk for HIV. Zero risk from drinking coffee.
