Chances Of Getting HIV From Swallowing Saliva?
Question: Hi to whom it may concern I was in the locker room changing and this Coworker was messing with me trying to get my tip money and i was on the ground and my money was in my hand holding on to it So he would'nt get it and I felt fluid come down on me I believe it was salvia from his mouth not sure though i checked everywhere I found no blood I dont know where that fluid landed I hope not my mouth what should i do but I think it landed on my shirt not sure Should i worry
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Even if you would swallow someones saliva it is almost impossible to catch HIV, HBV or HCV viruses. Other infection possibility (like fungal or herpes) is extremely hard. It is because your saliva and whole gastrointestinal tract produces antibodies (IgA) which protect you from any infection. Moreover, your stomach produces acid which is a strong barrier protecting you from any infection.
Virus or bacteria needs to get to the blood stream to cause an infection. So you should not worry at all.
Skin (if not injured) is also impenetrable barrier for most of pathogens.
So no reason to worry.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.

So nothing would happen if someon did a sexual act but my clothes were on?
As long as there is no contact with mucous membrane (which covers vagina) with the penis, there is nothing to worry about.
Hope this will help.

It was my behind but it was with another guy but my pants were up he was horseplaying
Pants does not guarantee protection. It does not work that way. It it were an anal intercourse, than there is always a risk of HIV infection. Especially if you are not certain about your partner. In such case, you should have HIV test after 3 weeks from the intercourse.
Hope this will help.

He was on my like a cowboy to my knowlege nothing happned i was laying on my stomach and he was like indian style on me. but my shorts were on me!
Ok, so there is no way to get an infection with your shorts on. If there was no contact with the penis and the anus, no reason to worry at all.

I dont think So contact?
Ok, let me make it as clear as possible.
By contact I mean direct and close contact of the head of the penis with the mucosa of your rectum. A contact without any tissues between the penis and the anus. So if you have had your shorts on, there is no possibility for the penis to penetrate the rectum. And there is no way to get infected.
Otherwise there will be possible to get infected in the crowd where the people are accidentally touching themselves. This is not possible to get infected in the crowd. And there is no possibility to get infected at your case. So please stop worrying about it.
Hope this will be helpful.

his clothes were on as well!
So it makes an infection even more impossible. You may assume that nothing really happen and accept that the risk of any contamination is 0%.
