Transmission of HIV via stomach ulcer? Aug 23, 2009 Assuming that oral and esophygeal health are great, no microscopic tears or cut, no open wounds, what is the likelihood that a stomach ulcer would be the portal of entry for HIV? I understand that the virus is very weak and cannot live in HCl of the stomach, but I can understand both sides. Dying before it could reach the stomach ulcer because of the high acidity concentration, but there's also inflammation. Which one is true? |
