Can AIDS be transmitted through saliva

AIDS is a disease that cannot be cured at present. Therefore, many people pay special attention to AIDS and make preparations for prevention in advance to comfort their inner fears, because there is no good treatment for AIDS. Can saliva transmit HIV? Many people may not know about this knowledge, so let me explain it to you below.

Can saliva transmit AIDS? Experts say generally not. AIDS can only be contracted through contact with the blood, semen, vaginal secretions, breast milk, or exudate from damaged skin and mucous membranes or inflammatory ulcers of AIDS patients; the virus can also be found in saliva, tears, sweat, and urine, but they contain very little virus and are not very contagious. But if you have mouth ulcers, you may also get infected. There are three main confirmed routes of HIV transmission: sexual contact, blood transmission, and mother-to-child transmission.

However, the core of the disease is transmission through sexual intercourse and blood. General contact cannot transmit AIDS, so AIDS patients should not be discriminated against in life. For example, eating together or shaking hands will not transmit AIDS.

Can kissing transmit AIDS? Experts say the possibility of HIV being transmitted through saliva is very small. So generally speaking, the virus cannot be transmitted through kissing. However, if the healthy person has wounds or cracks in his or her mouth, and the AIDS patient also has cracks in his or her mouth, and the two kiss, the AIDS virus may be transmitted through the blood. Sweat cannot transmit HIV.

Objects that have come into contact with AIDS patients cannot spread the AIDS virus. However, razors, toothbrushes, etc. used by AIDS patients may contain a small amount of AIDS patients' blood; towels may contain semen. If you share personal hygiene products with patients, you may be infected. However, patients who contract AIDS due to promiscuous sex often have other sexually transmitted diseases. If you share personal hygiene products with them, you may be infected with other diseases even if you are not infected with AIDS. So personal hygiene products should not be shared with others.

To sum up, the chance of HIV being transmitted through saliva is very small. It generally cannot be transmitted through saliva. It is more often transmitted through blood, sexual transmission, and other means. We should learn more about this aspect. It is harmless to popularize knowledge. Otherwise, we may become the next unfortunate person.
