The only way to spread HIV/AIDS is by transferring blood from one person to another. And various tests have proven that HIV/AIDS cannot be spread through saliva. So the only way this is possible is if the smoker was bleeding, and there was blood on the cigarette afterwards, and the person who then took the cigarette was also bleeding.
are you sure
Assuming saliva only on the cigarette, it is not possible to transmit HIV via cigarette sharing.
You will not catch HIV from smoking cigarettes or marijuana.
No. Not even kissing will result in infection
Yes, if the person smoking the cigarette has HIV. However, there would not be enough of the virus from the saliva in the cigarette butt to pass on an infection.
no hiv virus cannot be present in a cigarette as saliva doesn't carry hiv virus.
