Hi....everyone......Can HIV antibody be detected in elisa test if there a new group. Can It be spread by salive if it ger a cut...on my face where I have several acne sore. Or water mix with Hiv person blood or semen and if it get a cut. I had some exposure 6 month ago and test negative. But I am scared if it spread by saliva or water with semen . My cordial friend is HIV positive........

There is no risk here. Your own saliva will destroy any active HIV virus. I'm not sure why you would want to share food with a person with a bleeding gum, and for the purposes of generic hygiene I would recommend using your own utensils. However from a HIV perspective you are not at risk, and neither can HIV be caught via acne spots.

Post is a bit confusing. Why is there semen or blood in the water? HIV is not spread via saliva or via acne spots.
