Doubts

[cartmac31]

Hi,

a few days ago, i bought a watermelon juice from a stall. i noticed the worker has her finger wrapped with a small plaster. therefore i assumed she has cut her finger. now the problem is, i didnt notice whether she wore gloves when she juiced the watermelon. what if she didnt? lets say she's infected with HIV, and accidentally the blood diluted together with the juice during the process of juicing. will i get infected? i shared the drink with my bf. he had an ulcer but he only drank a bit.

can help me to clear the doubts?

Thank You

No risk of contracting HIV from food.

Based on what you described i would not worry. HIV does not spread through contact with food. HIV is a very fragile virus that does not survive well at all outside of the  body. Even if she was HIV+ your risk of contracting the virus this way is VERY SMALL. If you are concerened go get tested as there is no down side to knowing that you and your bf are HIV free. Not to mention that you generally need a fair amount of body fluids exchanged to contract the virus and that your stomach acid more than likely would be sufficent to kill off the virus.
