hiv from food
Is it possible to transmit hiv from pre chewed food if you have inflamation or open sores in mouth? It has been said in the body.com that CDC has reported at least 4 cases in 11 years of transmission of hiv from pre chewed food.
Do I need to get tested at 3 months mark if i have a open sore i.e.white colour sour in my mouth
If blood is there in the food and I eat it and have open sores in my mouth will hiv be not transmitted?
The only cases where this was an issue was with infants and toddlers being consistently fed pre-chewed food from an infected parent. You have nothing to worry about. If you're worried, chew your own food.
