Worried about blood... Jul 28, 2003 My ex-boyfriend was extremely abusive. One time he must of had a cut on his hands, and when he slapped me some of the blood got on my lips...I licked my lips thinking it was mine...I then rinsed my face off, realizing I had no cuts...Can I get HIV from this? |

Response from Dr. Jackson
 If your ex-boyfriend is HIV infected it would be possible to become infected through this type of exposure although the risk is probably still very low. BJ |
