Pre chewed food
Hi I am currently waiting on test results for a hiv test, I have another worry now the other day I was sharing skittles with my nephews and I am worried now that a pre chewed skittle may have landed in bag and one of my nephews who are 8 and 11 could have eaten it, would they be at risk from hiv from a pre chewed skittle
Irrational fear. Infants aren't 8 and 11 year olds. Their immune system is developed. You don't have a worry with that.
I seen that you commented on pre chewed food a while back, are you able to help me out please
I read that pre chewed food is a risk for infants I wanted to know if it's a risk for my nephews
No, HIV can't be transmited that way, it dies the second it contacts with the enviroment, really fragile virus, plus, it can't transmited through saliva neither.
