But why do they say that?
I know you respect the CDC. They are an important and serious organization, no?
It's old and they've haven't updated their website in years. The same info has been on there since the 80's.
Is it zero risk even with blood present?
Yes even if blood is present.
Saliva has over a dozen different enzymes and proteins that inhibit HIV transmission.
But does it deactivate ALL virus present in blood or some can escape and remain infectious?
