I made a mistake on my other question and now it is showing as active so I am going to resubmit, so it will be open.

I am a 41 year old happily married male with a 7 year old son.  The other day I went to breakfast with an acquaintance at the gym who I believe I female but possibly trans, the only thing is that she wants to get married and pregnant, so im not sure if she is trans. In the car she was in the passenger seat waiving her arms and hands which almost hit my face.

At the diner they accidentaly gave my butter and bacon with her order, so I took my fork and scraped the bacon of her french toast and she handed me the butter, I think this is possibly before she used the butter or ate the bacon but im not sure.  Is there a risk of hiv if her saliva or blood got on the food and then contaminated the food which i proceeded to eat?

I have searched through the archives which multiple answers state that unless a person has unprotected sex or shares needles and drug injection equipment to inject drugs a person has no risk and will never get hiv, is this still true?

I only have sex with my wife and do not inject or do drugs of any sort.  Is this statement accurate, to avoid hiv or live a life of never getting hiv do not have unprotected sex or share needled to inject drugs?  Is the above situation a risk at all for hiv?

Thanks as well for searching other threads.  We make them available to be used in precisely the same way that you did.  Thanks!.

You have come to the correct conclusion regarding risk for HIV.  Our stance, and the scientific data are unchanged.   HIV is transferred ONLY through penetrative sexual contact or direct injection of infected material deep into tissue.  Even in those circumstances, the risk of infection if directly exposed is less than 1% (for direct injection of infected material) and is less  than 0.1% for all sexual activity. HIV is not spread through sharing eating instruments, contact with an infected persons secretions or sweat, of through contact with inanimate objects.  All of the circumstances you describe are entirely no risk- there is no reason for concern and no medical or scientific reason for testing

I hope this information is helpful.  EWH

Does it make sense to put any situation in the context of, I didnt have unprotected sex and I didnt share needles to inject drugs, therefore there is no risk at all for hiv?

Thanks again for your help!  Sorry if these questions are repetitive, I will not ask any further questions after these.

Further, let me remind you that you do not know whether she is infected and untreated and statistically, even if she is trans ( and it sounds unlikely) nothing you describe carries any known risk.  EWH
