Dear doc. One of my friend open beer bottle with mouth and given me. I drunk that beer after 3 to 4 sec gap. I am worrying about his saliva might be touched to bottleneck and It might be enter into my mouth. I did not notice any visible blood on the bottleneck. I do not know his HIV status. I'm getting paranoid about this incident. Am I at risk of HIV by this act? Can I have unprotected sex with my wife?

Hello- Nothing to get paranoid. You are absolutely safe, you can't inherit HIV like this. HIV virus dies immediately when comes in contact with cold surface (chilled beer bottle).

Contact with saliva if you have cuts in your mouth can transmit the disease but fortunately bear has though very little alcohal but the virus is also very unstable so better chances r that you have nothing to worry but if your freind is positive than you can get your test done.
