HIV from saliva
      #2348 - 04/04/00 09:05 PM

Hi. I need your help. My fiance' apprehended a shoplifter where he works. The guy spit in his face. He can't remember if any of this mans saliva got into his mouth or eyes. Anyways, I told him he has nothing to worry about but he's very nervous. Is there anything anybody can tell him that would stop his worrying? I didn't think you could catch HIV from saliva. Am I right or does he in fact have somethng to worry about?

Thanks!
Michele

If it was just saliva, he would have had to injest 7 gallons of it! Even then, it would be too sparce to infect:o) There are NO known cases of HIV being passed from saliva...

Main fluids:
Blood, Semen, Vaginal Secretions, Breast Milk
