pre-chew worries

Last night i went out with some friends, and we were eating grilled
fish together. I put a fish in my mouth and suddenly realised that
that the small portion was pre-chewed.

It was then i noticed that one of  the guys that came with my friend
was throwing back what he had chewed. I dawned on me that i actually
put in my mouth what he had chewed before. At the point i was pissed off and stopped eating.

I have been SCARED about this. If he is HIV positive, can i be
infected ? As i also go ogled and saw articles saying that HIV can be
contracted from pre-chewed food.  Please help...

HIV never spreads the way you described. You can not be infected even if your friend was an HIV positive.
