HIV and AIDS Question, Is it transmitted through saliva?

My brother brought home a school trumpet today from school, we had these old things for so long and no one takes care of them as they used to. The SYSTEM is that you take your instrument out you sanitize it with this pink stuff you dip the mouth piece in and rinse and dry off. You don't wash it(mouth piece) again after wards, for it is left dirty and its the responsibility of the next person to wash off. Anyhow my brother brought it home and forgot to sanitize it , he just decided to wash it with water(not sure what temperature) and some dish soap.

He decided to play it, blowing and having a little fun. Now I am in a grade 6-8 middle school, and some grade 8 people(even lower) DO drugs and lost their virginity, and we all play the same instruments with the same mouthpiece. SO lets assume one had HIV, passing it on to others through saliva, well my brother is in this position, if he has any cuts on his mouth he can get HIV.. correct?

is it even transmitted through spit what if spit gets in the wound, what if wound gets in the mouth..? (blood on mouth piece)

my parents don't care" no grade 6-8 wil have AIDS even so its not spread that way"

and you guys say______

thanks.

it can be spread though saliva BUT it would not live for an extended period of time out side the body

sorry to say this but yes, hiv can be transmitted by saliva, you have to be more careful these days.
