Best Answer

The HIV virus, which may lead to AIDS if untreated, is spread by sharing needles and by sexual intercourse. So to avoid HIV, you should never share injecting needles (get a new one, or make sure the old one is REALLY sterile), and you should always use a condom when having sex. HIV usually can't be spread by oral sex. The virus has to pass into your bloodstream. If you have terrible teeth and your gums are all bleeding then you shouldn't be sucking any strange penises or vaginas. HIV CAN'T be spread through toothpicks, razors, toothbrushes, cutlery, plates, glasses etc. It can't be spread through kissing or masturbation.
