Hello, my one relative is HIV +. Recently we mate in a street of city. We talked 2 minutes. Then I felt his drops of saliva entered my mouth a little bit I think. My thing was had some small scratches that time. I felt small pain when I brush it to upper mouth. So I know there are some scratches. Now I am worrying because if his saliva was mixed with blood for any reason then there is chance to get HIV for me. I hope my tongue was not bleeding but small scratches which make entry to blood from it. Is there any chance to getting HIV infection? Please help me. Waiting for a pathologist's perfect answer. Thanks in advance. Namaste.

Dear lybrate-user, HIV is not transmitted through saliva, if you get, you ll be the first person in the world! However you can get HBV more easily. So do HBsAg test and take HBV vaccines. Your relative needs good treatment for HIV so that he get full and healthy life. Pl be sympathetic and empathetic to him, put him in touch with us.
