Can you get HIV/AIDS from sweat?!
Question: Can you get HIV/AIDS from sweat.?
Today in health, we learned that someone can transfer their HIV/AIDS disease by exchanging body fluids like sperm and blood. So I was wondering, if you get sweat on you from a person with HIV/AIDS and it comes in direct contact with your skin, do you now have that disease.?Health Question & Answer
Answers:
No. semen, vaginal fluids and breast milk all have some white blood cells in them, so add blood to the list and you have the 4 major body fluids that contain HIV. Sweat, urine, saliva and all safe fluids.Health Question & Answer
No, HIV is not transmitted by sweat. also, just getting infected fluid ON your skin would not give you the infection. Infected body fluids would have to get INTO your bloodstream in order for you to be infected.Health Question & Answer
no, sweat is a byproduct and not considered "body fluid"Health Question & Answer
