Hi. just relaxed. don't worry. Hov can not spread by using laguage of hiv positive person. Hiv can spread by sexual contact, blood to blood contact or from maternal to child. moreover hiv virus can not survive for long time out side the body environment. you are totally safe. Don't worry at all. And just remove your phobia.
