Blood, semen, pre-ejaculatory (seminal) fluid, vaginal fluid and breast milk are the commonly encountered bodily fluids with a sufficiently high concentration of the virus to constitute any viable risk of infection. Cerebrospinal fluid can also transmit HIV.

Whilst tears and saliva can in theory contain tiny traces of HIV, the concentration is so low that you would need simmultaneous exposure to whole buckets full of these fluids to be at any risk of infection - which is why there is no known case of anyone ever having become infected with HIV by being spat at, cried on or kissed (either socially on the lips, or more intimately with the tongue).

Other bodily fluids - such as urine, faeces, vomit and sweat - do not contain HIV.

Similarly, there is zero risk of infection from sharing cups, cutlery, towels and flannels with an infected person.
