hi a friend came to my house last week. he
may have hiv. he drank water from a cup
and left a little in it. my mother took
the cup and started washing it using tap
water. later I came to know that my mother
had a fresh cut on her hand while she was
washing the cup. this is really worrying
me as that person had cuts in his mouth.
what should I do? if it was me I could
have got tested but I do not want to worry
my mother if it is just anxiety

HIV dies 30 seconds to a minute after it
leaves the body. There is nothing for you
to do.
Your mother does not have HIV so please
don't worry! I wonder what you mean by
'cuts in his mouth' though. He might have
herpes zoster (cold sores) and they can be
infectious but again I wouldn't worry
unduly about it unless either you or your
mother ha a compromised immune system.

if it was you you would
still be wasting your time, you cant get
HIV that way..
