I have a family member, with whom I do not live, that has recently tested HIV positive. My concern now is should I eat food that the infected person has helped prepare (canning of fresh vegetables)when I noticed that they have a sore on their finger?

And you can get HIV from shaking hands, and sitting on a toilet seat, and seeing someone walking by with a sore on there face, and just being in the same room with them.
Get a life and learn the facts, even if the sore were open and bleeding you would maybe have a 2,000,000 to 1 (if that isnt a verry low figure) chance.

In all the cases of HIV documented in the USA NO ONE has gotten HIV casually!!!!!! You got to share needles or have sex--preferably sexual intercourse to get HIV. Otherwise you are completely safe!!!!! Did you know that there are doctors and dentists with HIV, chefs and teachers, cab drivers and mothers, state senators and garbage men! None of them have transmitted HIV to their co-workers, or relatives because of casual contact!

Now let's see. If your relative prepares vegetables what fluid of this relative would end up in the vegetables? Sweat maybe..well Sweat of an HIV positive person does not transmit HIV. Blood? Within moments of the unlikely event that blood drips from this person into the vegetables the virus in the blood will die...HIV does not stay alive very long in contact with air. Semen? Vaginal fluids? Hopefully this relative doesn't have sex or masturbate while preparing vegetables...but even if they were so inclined, HIV in their semen or vaginal fluids would die after seconds in contact with air. Sore finger? HIV can't leak from someone's finger in pus or something...
So you see as much as they try, these people with HIV can't transmit their virus without their blood, semen or vaginal fluids getting into your blood stream. Your skin really protects you from this. I hope you are as careful when YOU have sex with people. Remember that people have gotten HIV from having INTERCOURSE with an infected partner, or sharing needles. Those are the biggest risks. THERE IS NO risk in eating or kissing or even hugging a relative. (and you really should hug your relative to show how much you care and how nice of a person you are!)

My husband has had the virus for 17 years and thank god he cooks because if it were up to me, we would never eat! I cant boil an egg without screwing it up. You should be hugging or loving him instead of asking these inane, stupid, (and yes, it is stupid) questions when there is just too much info about HIV out there for you to ask such nieve questions.As someone else posted, there are many chefs with HIV working in resturants, so if you are this uneducated, maybe you shouldn't eat anymore.In or out!Get A LIFE!

I can hardly claim to be an expert, but I believe stomach acid has been shown to kill the AIDS virus, this also means you really can't get it from kissing a person either.
