Hello
It is known that hiv cannot be transmited by spitting or biting(except for 1 case I have heard of with blood mixed with the saliva and the bite was deep)
Someone could you please explain me the following
If I have a wound on the lips that is not heavily bleeding but slightly oozing, is there a risk for transmission if a little speck of blood + saliva lands on it.
I suspect that the possibility of transmission is low, but can someone explain why? I know the transmittable virus dies within second when it is exposed the environment, but if it is from spit does not happen very quickly. And the wound, despite not being deep and bleeding , but on the lips which are mucous membrane and more acceptable to this virus?
Please let someone who have extensive biology knowledge explain to me why this is with probability of happening below 0.1 %
Could you please someone also tell me does this situation requires hiv testing as I am in region in which I have to travel a lot so to get to laboratory? The person I encountered was with multiple sex partners and is rather risky(I am not to blame anyone, but better ask than suffer).
Thanks for the answer and the understanding :)
Regards
