If you use your room mate tooth brush five minutes after he was finish brushing his teeth and he is hiv positive what are your chance of getting hiv?
If this is the only bodily fluid contact, then the risk of getting HIV is minimal. Saliva, sweat and tears have some traces of the HIV virus, but not enough to infect someone. No known cases of HIV have been transmitted by these methods so the risk is negligible. HIV is transmitted mainly through unprotected sex of any kind with an infected person. It can also be transmitted through contact with the blood of an infected person.
