This is regarding transmission of hiv by makeup lipstick. One hiv infected woman with bleeding and cracked lips applied lipstick on her lips and immediately her friend has also used it on her cracked and bleeding lips without any time gap. Since there is blood to blood interaction without any time gap so whether there is possibility of hiv infection to other lady. Pl explain. Thanks.

Hiv does not live long outside the human body. Even if the food contained small amounts of hiv-infected blood or semen, exposure to the air, heat from cooking, and stomach acid would destroy the virus.
