Ok, say I have an open cut on my lip, and
someone else does too and gets a blood on
the cup and 4 seconds later I put my lips
on it, can there be transmission?

Transmission MAY occur. 4 seconds is too
short a time for the virus to die. HIV
dies 30 seconds to a minute after it hits
the air.
Why would you be drinking from a cup with
blood on it?

well i didn;t really see any blood on it,
and my lips weren't really bleeding
either, (i had a small loose scab and the
skin was damaged enough for it to burn
when i drank orange juice for example) but
i just put it in the worst case scenario.

I feel like you have more to say than you
are saying.
If there was no blood, there was no HIV.
If the wound had a scab, there was no way
for HIV to get into the bloodstream.
For HIV to occur, one needs three things.
One, a fluid HIGH in HIV. (Blood, semen,
vaginal fluids and breast milk). If any
of these fluids are not present, HIV will
not occur.
You then need an activity. Unprotected
sex, sharing dirty needles, childbirth and
breast feeding.
The last thing you need for HIV to occur
is a way to the bloodstream.
You might be worried about the saliva but
saliva does not have enough HIV to cause
infection.
What are you worried about?

Well what im worried about is that there
was a small entrance to my bloodstream on
my upper lip (there was a scab but wounds
on lips don't heal very fast/well because
they are constantly wet/being licked. I'm
also worried that somehow, although not
visible, maybe a small amount of blood
mixed with saliva got on the edge of the
glass or in the drink.

I believe Mson covered
your questions and yet you didn't really
respond to her when she said "I feel like
you have more to say than you are saying."
Are you the girl with OCD? If so then I
think you can get a more productive
response from the Anxiety OCD forum. If
not then I'm sorry, I talk to a lot of
people and some people with OCD become
focused in an unhealthy way on
HIV/AIDS.Here is the link.

I don't know if you guys read this post of
mine:
"Well what im worried about is that there
was a small entrance to my bloodstream on
my upper lip (there was a *loose* scab and
little tears in the skin but wounds on
lips don't heal very fast/well because
they are constantly wet/being licked. I'm
also worried that somehow, although not
visible, maybe a small amount of blood
mixed with saliva got on the edge of the
glass or in the drink."
This is entirely possible and logical.
I recognize that I'm being a little OCD
about this, and yes it is ruining my life
and my social interactions because it's
always on my mind but I mean this is, to
me, a completely valid concern.
