Hello Medhelp Friends,
I recently did someting very stupid and shared a chewing gum with a friend. I mean she took the the chewing-gum out of her mouth after chewing it for a while and than I put it in my mouth and started chewing her chewing-gum . I realized this was a stupid idea when I tasted blood in the chewing gum after chewing it for a few seconds and I swallowed the bubble gum reluctantly after this shock moment.
Now it's inside my system as it went down my throat after swallowing. The reason for the blood on her chewing-gum is (which I later realized after talking to her) she had bleeding dental gums after she brushed her teeth. Now I'm scared to death.
I don't know her HIV status, but "assuming" that person has HIV, will I get HIV through chewing their bubble gum with their blood in it and swallowing it down my throat?
:(
