HIV Transmission through someone spitting on my mouth?


So my roommate just found out he is HIV+. It has been a bit difficult adjusting to living with him since it's been my phobia ever since i was a little kid when i found out what this virus was. He is very different from me (gay guy) I'm a really non-permiscuous (he says uptight) girl. Anyway just right now he was up in face talking to me and i felt his spit HIT MY LIP. I quickly spit out and went to wash my mouth with mouth wash and told him to stay away from me with his condition, but i am freaking out and crying right now because i bite the insides of my lip a little (bad habit) and I am so scared I just got it. HELP!!!! I am about to jump off a bridge I'm freaking out and my stupid roommate just says to get over it. Its not my fault i care about myself and he doesn't He doesn't understand the severity of his condition and how other people might be afraid of it. Can i get it this way or not?

You were very rude to him. You could have washed your mouth out and then acted like a decent human being and had a conversation with him about things like keeping the apartment clean and making sure things are sanitary. That is all you really have to worry about.
You are not uptight because you don't have sex or multiple sex partners. He's the one with HIV.
Just be respectful and remember that he is a person too. Stop crying and freaking out and go apologize to your roommate and explain to him why you were so rude.

Considering you've had this life-long phobia, you would think that you would know that HIV doesn't get transmitted through saliva.

As long as he isn't bleeding in his mouth, then it's not possible to transmit HIV through saliva.

HIV isn't transmittable through spit. relax girl..

you could make out with this guy, as long as his mouth isnt bleeding, and you would be fine. HIV+ is only transmittable from blood, or sex, not any other way. but you might want to be extra careful, and try to limit your contact with him. also you might want to make sure he doesnt masturbate in the wash room, seeing as if he gets semen on the toilet seat and you sit, you can get it. anyways, good luck with this, and so far, unless you've done any of the above, you DO NOT have HIV+, but still, be careful, and make sure he tells all his sex partners about this diagnosis, and make sure he disposes of condoms properly. if possible, try to limit him from having any sexual intercourse in your residence. so far you are safe, but may i suggest moving, or setting very strict limits on things. the HIV+ sadly will eventually evolve into AIDS, and your friend will, eventually die, sadly :'(
