Hello doctor, My four year old son found a piece of used chewing gum outside house and chewed it for some time. Is there any chance of hiv infection from chewed used chewing gum?

Dear user. HIV do not spread through saliva. Secondly, HIV will not survive for more than some minutes in outside temperature. Don't worry. Take care.
