Question

Can you be at risk for having HIV if you were to consume urine from a public restroom urinal?

Answer

Hi,

Urine that does not contain visible blood is not considered a risk for HIV transmission. By the way how does one consume urine from a public restroom urinal??? On second thought never mind. I don't really want to know.
